Plasmids used in DNA synthesis of BioBrick® parts
Most DNA synthesis companies do not currently use BioBrick® plasmid backbones to clone synthesized BioBrick® parts. Therefore, some parts in the Registry are available in non-standard plasmid backbones because they were constructed via direct DNA synthesis. Here is a list of plasmid backbones used by assorted DNA synthesis companies.

SynBERC Tumor killing bacteria testbed
One of the testbeds for the NSF-funded [http://synberc.org Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center (SynBERC)] is designing and engineering modules that will be integrated to construct a bacterium capable of moving to and attacking a chemical or biological entity; for example, a tumor or a chemical warfare agent. There are a number of environmental cues that bacteria could use to distinguish a tumor from healthy tissue. The environment is hypoxic and more nutritious, and bacteria grow to significantly higher cell densities (Yu et al., 2003). Components that sense these differences can be linked to genetic circuits that integrate the information. The circuits will activate engineered pathways that control bacterial chemotaxis and the interaction between the bacterium and a mammalian cell. These systems will be engineered into a non-pathogenic E. coli chassis.

Other miscellaneous vectors
The Registry also have miscellaneous other plasmids and plasmids backbones. These plasmids and plasmid backbones have not undergone Registry curation, but we include them here for completeness.
