iGEM
Description:
iGEM and the Registry of Standard Biological Parts have a large and diverse user community. The skill levels run from high-school students who are new to synthetic biology to world-acclaimed experts in the field. Our user community spans the globe with users from over 26 countries and regions participating in the iGEM competition alone last year. The field of synthetic biology is young, but individual synthetic biologists have already progressed from iGEM competition team member to graduate student advisor, or from advisor to professor advising a team and running a lab.
The Registry of Standard Biological Parts serves the academic research community, providing the first and largest catalog of standard biological parts. While much of the growth has been in the iGEM community, over 90 academic labs are now members of the Registry community. We are making it easier for labs to participate and the number is growing.
This site focuses on the Registry, iGEM, and lab accounts and personal pages of the enduring community of synthetic biology based on standard parts. This site is a mixture of wiki pages and computer generated pages that allow users to manage their personal accounts as well as the accounts of their lab and their teams.

Among the goals of iGEM is the creation of synthetic biological parts and their utilization to achieve novel features and behavior in biological systems. The emphasis of our project is put on this latter, "systems" aspect of iGEM. More precisely, we aim at the development and experimental demonstration of a scalable approach for the realization of logical functions in vivo. By developing a computational biological network based on RNA logical devices we will offer everyone the opportunity to 'program' their own cells with individual AND/OR/NOT connections between BioBricks of their choice. Thereby, BioBricks can finally fulfill their original assignment as biological parts that can be connected in many different ways. We will achieve this by engineering simple and easy-to-handle switches based on predictable RNA/RNA-interactions regulating transcriptional termination. These switches represent a complete set of logical functions and are capable of forming arbitrarily complex networks.

A The basic structure of a bioLOGICS switch (left) and a transmitter molecule (right). B The process of switching. Rectangles present the composition of our functional units on the level of DNA. Fringed lines represent RNA produced by RNA polymerase. The stem loop structure depicts the switchable terminator. Terminator and target site are illustrated in blue and turquoise, respectively. Recognition sites are indicated in different colors, in this case red for the input transmitter and green for the output transmitter. Each switch and or later logical unit has to be flanked by a promotor and another constitutive terminator, to allow RNA-production by RNA-polymerase in a proper way. Detailed information at the official wiki website.
