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.
