Update to the Registry's Submission System!

We've made some changes to the submission system that will give better feedback to users and help the Registry process new submissions. You'll see when your physical shipment has arrived at the Registry, and how your samples are being evaluated on an individual basis. If there is a mistake with the form, or an issue with a sample, you won't have to redo your submission form.

pSB1C3

Parts must be in pSB1C3, the Registry's standard shipping backbone
• Your part will be flanked by the BioBrick prefix and suffix on the backbone
• The Registry can test and maintain all parts in the same way
• pSB1C3 is a high-copy plasmid, which improves miniprep yields for parts
• Users can easily and reliably move or assemble the part into another plasmid backbone

BioBrick compatible

Parts must be BioBrick (RFC 10) compatible
• Your part's sequence must not contain the restriction sites of the BioBrick prefix and suffix: EcoRI, XbaI, SpeI, PstI.
• The Registry can test and maintain all parts in the same way
• Your part can be assembled to others with 3A or Standard Assembly.
• Check if your part is BioBrick compatible by looking at the part's sequence and feature box.

Documented

Parts shipped to the Registry must be documented on the Registry.
• You must add your part to the Registry; it will then receive a part name (BBa_...)
• Your part's sequence must be entered into the Registry
• Quality over quantity: sending a few well-documented parts is always better than sending several that are not
• For examples of well documented parts check out: BBa_K274210, BBa_F2620, and BBa_E0040

Safety

iGEM teams must meet the safety requirements
• The Registry accepts parts from Risk Group 1 organisms.
• The Registry may accept parts from Risk Group 2 organisms that have received authorization from the Safety committee
• The Registry will not accept any parts from Risk Group 3 and 4 organisms
• The Registry will not accept any parts from organisms or viruses on The Australia Group's List of Biological Agents for Export Control.
