Help:BioBrick Assembly

Revision as of 21:56, 2 August 2006 by Jamesbrown (Talk | contribs) (Parallel Assembly)

Physical parts in the DNA Repository have been designed to be assembled into systems using normal cloning techniques based on restriction enzymes, purification, ligation, and transformation - with a twist: BioBrick parts are composable. The result of assembling two parts is a new part that may be used in future assemblies.

Parallel Assembly

BioBrick systems may contain many parts. One could spend many weeks building a 50-part system by assembling the first two parts, adding the third part, adding the fourth part, and so on. However, because BioBrick assembly is composable, assembly need not be done sequentially - Find out more...
