vectors

[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/VecScreen/replist.html VecScreen] has a list of all the vector nucleotide sequences in ncbi.
[http://seq.yeastgenome.org/vectordb/ VectorDB] contains annotations and sequence information for many vectors (2600+) commonly used in molecular biology.
[http://wishart.biology.ualberta.ca/PlasMapper/ PlasMapper] generates sweet annotated vector-based plasmid maps from a web interface.

BU iGEM Training
Using the wiki
iGEM 101



Team members can store and reference PDFs of scientific papers at http://www.citeulike.org/user/BUiGEM/ (Get the password from Richard) Take a look at tagging feature and the bookmarklet used for posting. (I'll put in more details soon). Here's a list of tags I have so far:

  • part2b for papers describing DNA sequences that we could turn into a part
  • part_XYZ for papers describing a specific part we might make
  • gene_XYZ for papers describing a particular gene in any detail

Remember you can apply any number of relevant tags you like to a given paper.

Tom Knight's earlier plasmid construction technique: http://web.mit.edu/synbio/release/docs/biobricks.pdf

Randy Rettberg sez [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 B0015] is a pretty reliable terminator.
