vectors

VecScreen has a list of all the vector nucleotide sequences in ncbi.

VectorDB contains annotations and sequence information for many vectors (2600+) commonly used in molecular biology.

PlasMapper generates sweet annotated vector-based plasmid maps from a web interface.

miscellaneous

Why didn't the Registry include empty resistance plasmids in the DNA shipment?

Check the Registry FAQ.

Standard Assembly 

the basics of building and manipulating Parts, including details about XbaI and SpeI, the restriction enzymes that are the basis of these operations.

RBS-CDS design issues 

how the ribosomal binding site is reconciled with the location of the BioBrick ends.
