  1. iGEM,The Registry of Standard Biological Parts,And Synthetic Biology Randy Rettberg hq@igem.org igem.org Cambridge, UK July 5, 2010

  2. Synthetic Biology Question Can simple biological systems be built from standard, interchangeable parts and operated in living cells? Or, is biology so complex that each case is unique?

  3. Education Driving Research

  4. Device-Level System Diagram 2003

  5. Parts- and Device-Level System Diagram

  6. iGEM Philosophy iGEM Philosophy: Get and Give Teams are expected to use the parts, ideas, and experience of teams in previous years. Teams are expected to contribute their parts, ideas, and experiences.

  23. iGEM Community Now • 7,041 user accounts • 6,513 unique emails • 1,782 users have logged in since Feb 2010 • 920 have entered parts • 12,327 parts entered • 5,166 DNA samples at the Registry • 2,328 reported to work • 1,691 parts sent by last year’s teams • 795 sequence confirmed parts

  24. The Registry: Quality Not Quantity Parts in the Registry are believed to be of low quality. • The DNA Sample does not match the part sequence or cannot be transformed. • The Part is not well documented in the Registry. • The Part has not been measured. • Interchangeable parts are not possible. • Lots of parts are junk.

  25. Part Quality Parts in the Registry are believed to be of low quality. • The DNA Sample does not match the part sequence or cannot be transformed. • DNA Quality Control Program • The Part is not well documented in the Registry. • Curation, Ratings, Judges, Filtering • The Part has not been measured. • BioFab, Jason’s measurement program, Devices • Interchangeable parts are not possible. • BioLint • Lots of parts are junk • Delete, clean up, hide
