The Registry of Standard Biological Parts is a collection of standardized DNA sequences that can be used in synthetic biology. It provides a library of biological components, such as promoters, terminators, and genes, which researchers can combine to create new biological systems. This registry helps streamline the design and construction of genetic circuits. By using these standardized parts, scientists can more easily share and replicate experiments, fostering collaboration and innovation in the field. The registry supports initiatives like the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition, encouraging students and researchers to explore synthetic biology and its applications.
