Getting Started

Key steps to begin using the iGEM wiki and Registry

  • You will need to set up an account with the [http://partsregistry.org Registry of Standard Parts] if you have not already done so.
  • Also check out the Registry [http://partsregistry.org/Help:Contents Help and Documentation] to begin working with BioBricks.

Lectures and Presentations

Background of iGEM philosophy and programs

  • Foundations of Synthetic Biology (Drew Endy): [http://web.mit.edu/smcs/csbi/2006/q2/mit-csbi-2006_foundation-08apr2006-220k.ram high res] [http://web.mit.edu/smcs/csbi/2006/q2/mit-csbi-2006_foundation-08apr2006-80k.ram low res]
  • Synthetic Society (Drew Endy): [http://web.mit.edu/smcs/csbi/2006/q2/mit-csbi-2006_society-08apr2006-220k.ram high res] [http://web.mit.edu/smcs/csbi/2006/q2/mit-csbi-2006_society-08apr2006-220k.ram low res][http://mit.edu/endy/www/scraps/talks/iGEM/Endy.iGEM.TW.pdf PDF] [http://mit.edu/endy/www/scraps/talks/iGEM/Endy.iGEM.TW.ppt PowerPoint]
  • Other [http://openwetware.org/wiki/Endy:Talks Drew Endy] videos and presentations
  • Natalie Kuldell's [http://openwetware.org/wiki/BE.109:Schedule BE.109] MIT course "Laboratory Fundamentals of Biological Engineering."
  • MIT OpenCourseWare directory of [http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Biological-Engineering/index.htm Biological Engineering] classes.
  • Synthetic Biology technical reports in MIT's DSpace

Introductory Material

  • FAQ for new iGEM teams
  • Abstraction hierarchy and PoPS
  • Standard Assembly
  • [http://www.nature.com/nature/comics/syntheticbiologycomic/index.html Comic] introducing basic ideas of Synthetic Biology, Parts and Devices.
  • Drew Endy's article [http://openwetware.org/images/0/0d/Nature04342.pdf Foundations for engineering biology] (published in Nature), explaining motivation and ideas behind synthetic biology.
  • [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_biology Wikipedia article] about synthetic biology, with more links
  • [http://web.mit.edu/endy/www/igem/iGEM.supplement.pdf iGEM 2005 Supplement] This document summarizes what happened in 2003 and 2004, gives a background on abstraction and PoPS.
