Registry Help Pages & Registry Tutorial
The Registry is always getting better! We’ve made some changes to the Registry software and the requirements for creating and documenting parts, so we’re also updating our documentation and educational resources.
The Registry help pages and the Registry-at-a-Glance page are great places to start for all iGEM teams, veteran and new alike. If you are not able to find the answer to a question on the Help pages, send an email to hq@igem.org.

Adding Parts & Assembly Compatability
|
As you begin work on your project, you will need to use the Registry to add and document your standard parts; before starting, take a look at the tutorials for adding a Basic Part and adding Composite part. |
|
Assemble your parts the way you want! The Registry supports several Assembly Standards, and teams can use the assembly methods and techniques of their choice when creating their new parts.
|
|
Just remember, part samples submitted to the Registry must be BioBrick compatible and in the shipping plasmid backbone, pSB1C3. This ensures that the Registry can maintain and test all new parts in the same way and Registry members can easily and reliably use and assemble these parts in the future. Standard parts make moving a part from one backbone to another easy. |

Search and Browse the Registry
You’ll need to find the parts that are relevant to your project, and there are a few different ways to do that on the Registry.
|
The Registry’s Search Tools will let you find parts by search query: you can do a text search, find what composite parts contain a part you’re interested in, do a Google Site Search, and more.
|
|
The Registry’s Catalog organizes the available parts by various criteria including part type, chassis, submitter, etc.
|
|
We’ve also put together collections of interesting parts in our Collections page, as well as the Most Used Parts and Highly Documented Parts on the Registry. |
