The iGEM competition facilitates this by providing a library of standardized parts (we call these parts ''BioBricks'') to students, and asking them to design and build genetic machines with them.  Of course, students are welcome to make their own BioBricks, too.
 
-
Information about BioBricks, and also some basic tools to manipulate them, are provided by the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, or simply, the [http://partsregistry.org Registry]. This is a core resource for the iGEM program.

Beyond trying to answer the question about, our broader goals include:
 
-
* To enable the systematic engineering of biology
+
{| cellspacing="2px" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="padding: 0; width: 300 px; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff;"
-
* To promote the open and transparent development of tools for engineering biology
+

-
* And to help construct a society that can productively apply biological technology

<h3>Current Events</h3>
-
So are we any closer to finding an answer to our question?  Well, in just three years, students have managed to partially or completely build a variety of systems, from biosensors to biological photographic film, so it's looking better that engineering biology can be done.  Stay tuned for the next batch of results, to be presented at the 2006 Jamboree in November.
