Registry of Standard Biological Parts

The Registry is a continuously growing collection of genetic parts that can be mixed and matched to build synthetic biology devices and systems. Founded in 2003 at MIT, the Registry is part of the Synthetic Biology community's efforts to make biology easier to engineer. It provides a resource of available genetic parts to iGEM teams and academic labs. You can register a new lab here.

The Registry sponsors international undergraduate teams (iGEM) to compete in building synthetic biology machines. This could be a good cause to make a group at university. It's another chance to boost a university's prestige and fame.
