Biologists are familiar with the concept of organisms. The iGEM Registry of Standard Biological Parts in most cases uses the concept of "chassis", "the conceptual extension of a living cell" [1].
| Escherichia coli chassis (?): Most parts in the Registry operate in E. coli. | ||
| Bacillus subtilis chassis (?): Bacillus subtilis is a model gram-positive bacterium. | ||
| Cell-free chassis (?): In vitro transcription/translation systems can be useful for some synthetic biological systems. | ||
| Escherichia coli (?): Most parts in the Registry function in E. coli. | ||
| Yeast (?): Yeast are simple eukaryotes. | ||
| Bacteriophage T7 (?): Bacteriophage T7 is an obligate lytic phage of E. coli. | ||
| Bacillus subtilis (?): Bacillus subtilis is a model gram-positive bacterium. | ||
| MammoBlocks (?): MammoBlocks are a new category of BioBrick introduced by the MIT iGEM team in 2010 and continued in 2011. There are now dozens of MammoBlocks suitable for rapid expression in mammalian cells. | ||
| Mesoplasma florum (?): Mesoplasma florum is a particularly simple model organism. | ||
| Magnetotaxis (?): magnetotactic strain AMB-1 with BioBrick-compatible toolkit enables development of synthetic biology into magnetotaxis and beyond. |
