We are excited to welcome Benchling as an iGEM Partner for the second year in a row!​

iGEM teams can unlock Benchling Notebook and Molecular Biology, extra space, and Benchling Sync for free

Benchling is a cloud-based software platform that helps scientists around the world record scientific data, design sequences, and collaborate more efficiently. Benchling includes two core applications: Notebook, an electronic lab notebook, and Molecular Biology, a suite of sequence design and analysis tools.

Given our current global health situation, virtual collaboration is more important than ever. iGEM teams can still use Benchling to plan experiments, write protocols, model cloning and other benchwork in silico, and share all of your experimental designs with one another in seconds. When iGEM teams are able to go back into lab, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running.

Join Benchling for free

As part of our partnership, iGEM 2020 teams can unlock Notebook, Molecular Biology, extra space, and an enterprise feature — all at no cost to iGEM teams.

Visit Benchling's Partner Page to unlock this iGEM offer, and join the community of iGEMers already using Benchling.

• Model assemblies, annotate constructs automatically, align sequences, design primers, and more 
• Capture and access your team's data — protocols, sequences, and experimental results — all in one place
• Share your data and protocols with your team and with other members of the iGEM community
• Export Notebook entries and upload them directly to your iGEM Team Wiki
