The iGEM (International genetically Engineered Machine) is the largest synthetic biology competition in the world, which occurs every year at MIT. It came out as a one-month during course at MIT in 2003, in which students had to come up with new biological systems. In the following year it turned into a summer competition with 5 teams. After 2004 the competition grew internationally and up to now 193 teams are subscribed for the 2012 iGEM competition (1).

To the inscribed teams is given a kit of biological parts, also called BioBricks, the teams can create genetic machines by putting BioBricks together and operate it on living cells. Information about BioBricks is found in the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, which is operated by iGEM organization and opened to the whole scientific community (1).
