BioBricks

This page contains the [http://partsregistry.org/Help:An_Introduction_to_BioBricks BioBricks] that our team created and distributed to the [http://partsregistry.org/Main_Page registry]. [http://partsregistry.org/Help:An_Introduction_to_BioBricks BioBricks] are the standardised building blocks of synthetic biology, they usually consist of circular DNA ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmid plasmid]) and a DNA sequence coding for a specific function like a protein or a promotor. The finalised BioBrick is based on the [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1C3 pSB1C3 vector] contains defined restrictions sites for an easy assembly and an chloramphenicol resistance for selection purposes.

In general three levels of complexity are distinguished:

1. Simple parts like proteins, promoters, RBS, terminators
2. Devices they consists of wired parts like a RBS in front of a protein sequence
3. Systems are interconnected devices (like ab electric circuit) e.g. a combination of promoter, RBS, protein and terminator

Via combination of parts and devices a wide range of new functions can be generated. Assembling multiple parts can be achieved by recombination of cut parts.

All parts, devices and systems are open source and available in a the [http://partsregistry.org/Main_Page registry].
