Maybe there still is value in the registry, and maybe it does save groups synthesis costs and time. After all, current saves researchers $325 on average a day. But when we return to this conversation in 5 years and the savings is only about $80 a day? The National Science Foundation (NSF, $37 million over 10 years), and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, undisclosed grant), and National Institutes of Health (NIH, undisclosed grant) funnel hefty grants as well as the International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) competition to develop and contribute to the physical stock of parts. Should we be investing in this type of technology? <br> | Maybe there still is value in the registry, and maybe it does save groups synthesis costs and time.
