-- Please choose a team

Choose an existing Check-In:

Or, start a new Check-In:

Organism name:
(Include name of species, strain, and/or cell line.)

This Check-In is for a:

1. Organism Information:

a) What Risk Group is this organism? [Help about Risk Groups]

iGEM teams should not use:

  • Risk Group 3 organisms
  • Risk Group 4 organisms
  • Parts derived from Risk Group 4 organisms

If you are planning to use any of these, contact safety (AT) igem (DOT) org right away!!

b) Is the organism on the Australia Group List, or on the U.S. Select Agents and Toxins List? (If Yes, please email safety (at) igem (dot) org.)

These organisms and their parts are restricted for international shipment. See Safe Shipment for more information.

2. Part Information:

a) What is the natural function of this part in its parent organism?

b) Is the part toxic to humans?

For example, if your part is a protein toxin such as EXAMPLE, or if it is an enzyme that synthesizes a chemical toxin such as EXAMPLE

c) Is it a virulence factor, or does it mimic one?

PUT A LINK TO SOME INFORMATION ABOUT VIRULENCE FACTORS

d) Does the part, by itself, pose any safety risks? If Yes, what are the risks?

3. What will you use this organism/part for?

How does it fit into the overall function of your project?

4. How will you acquire this organism/part?

(e.g. from a culture collection, from another lab, isolating the part from the organism by PCR, ordering the part from a DNA synthesis company)

5. Are you taking any additional safety precautions when you use this organism/part?

(e.g. handling it in a separate lab area, wearing additional protective equipment)

6. Further Comments

Anything else you want to tell us about this organism/part and how you will use it

7. Comments about this form: Is it easy or difficult to use? Are the questions confusing?
