The iGEM 2016 DNA Distribution Kit

The iGEM 2016 DNA Distribution is shipping out to registered teams! This year's distribution contains over 1200 high-quality samples of parts from the iGEM Registry.

We've added some new material this year. Be sure to read through the 2016 Distribution Handbook before using your kit! When you get your kit, let us know by tweeting at us! #WelcomeToiGEM
