Frequently Asked Questions
At iGEM HQ, we love getting questions and comments from the community!
Your questions help us develop the resources on the Registry, and this includes our Frequently Asked Questions section.
Q: How do I document an improvement on an existing part on the Registry?
There are many different ways to improve an existing part, from adding measurement data to codon-optimization.
Please see our Help page on contributions. The Registry is currently working on a new contribution system, and we'll keep you posted!
Q: We have a part that we'd like to submit, but it is not BioBrick RFC 10 compatible.
If you've already worked with this part, please document it on the Registry. However, this part will not meet the Registry's submission requirements, and you should not submit this part without prior approval from iGEM Headquarters.
Please note that parts must fulfill the submission requirements in order to be eligible for medal criteria and awards.
Q: When are our part submissions due?
For iGEM 2014 teams, part submissions must arrive at iGEM HQ
by October 10 to be eligible for medal criteria and awards. Make sure to mark your submission form as "sent" and include tracking information!
If you have a question about iGEM and the Registry, take a look at our FAQs page. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us at hq AT igem DOT org. Your question (and the answer) will be added to the FAQs page, so all users can learn from it. |

The Check-In form has been published! Click here to complete a Check-In. Please submit all necessary Check-Ins by October 01. You must complete a Check-In for every organism/part you are using that is not on the White List. Please review the White List (and its FAQ) to see which organisms and parts require a Check-In, and which do not require one.
