* How do we find out which antibiotic a particular DNA on Plate 2 is resistant to?  The [[Biobrick delivery|Biobrick Delivery instructions]] say that we should use the [http://partsregistry.org/cgi/assembly/libraries.cgi?id=6 Registry Repository] to find out, but it doens't seem to list each part's antibiotic resistance on there.
