Add and Document Parts

Start adding + documenting your parts early! Throughout the season you can update your part documentation with new information, modelling data, and/or experimental characterization.

2022 Distribution is Shipping!

The 2022 DNA Distribution is very different than previous ones. We have worked with the iGEM Engineering Committee and FreeGenes to create it! To read about it, please see the Distribution Handbook on iGEM's Technology Program..

Featured Collection

2022 iGEM Distribution

iGEM has designed and built a new distribution entirely from the ground up with support from The FreeGenes Project and the iGEM Engineering Committee.

The focus of this and future distributions' contents is in improving the quality of the parts and devices, and expanding the types of materials within, through curation, validation, and new interlaboratory studies.

The 2022 DNA Distribution is primarily Type IIS Level 0 parts, with devices for Interlabs in BioBrick format.

Update: Composite Parts

If you synthesized or used a different assembly system to create a composite part, you can now enter specific scars between subparts. If you have any issues with functionality, please contact hq (at) igem (dot) org.

Catalog

The iGEM Registry has over 20,000 documented parts. The Catalog organizes many of these parts by part type, chassis, function, and more. Browse for parts through the Registry Catalog or use the search menu.

Collections

We've updated the Registry part collections. Users can discover new parts and collections and build upon what previous iGEM teams and labs have achieved.

• Well Documented Parts
• Frequently Used Parts
• Plant Chassis
• Bacillus subtilis
• Reporter Proteins
• Anderson Promoters
• Cellulose & Related Parts
• more...

Protocols

Be sure to read through the Registry recommended protocols. They've been tested using the DNA Distribution Kit and BioBrick parts. See the Registry help pages for a list of protocols.

The iGEM Parts Registry is a growing collection of genetic parts that can be mixed and matched to build synthetic biology devices and systems.

As part of the synthetic biology community's efforts to make biology easier to engineer, it provides a source of genetic parts to iGEM teams and academic labs.

You can learn more about iGEM Teams and Labs at iGEM.org.
