Guide to Registry Documentation

This guide explains how to read and interpret the information available that documents a part in the Registry.

Overview

Each part* in the Registry has two components: (a) physical DNA carried by a plasmid vector stored at -80 degrees Celsius, and (b) documentation on the parts.igem.org server. For some parts, only documentation is available. To use such a part you must either synthesize the DNA or reconstruct the part from the documented design information.
