<p>Each team will make new parts during iGEM and will submit them to the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. The iGEM software provides an easy way to present the parts your team has created. The <code>&lt;groupparts&gt;</code> tag (see below) will generate a table with all of the parts that your team adds to your team sandbox.</p>
 
−
<p>Remember that the goal of proper part documentation is to describe and define a part, so that it can be used without needing to refer to the primary literature. Registry users in future years should be able to read your documentation and be able to use the part successfully. Also, you should provide proper references to acknowledge previous authors and to provide for users who wish to know more.</p>

<p>Note that parts must be documented on the <a href="http://parts.igem.org/Main_Page"> Registry</a>. This page serves to <i>showcase</i> the parts you have made. Future teams and other users and are much more likely to find parts by looking in the Registry than by looking at your team wiki.</p>

<h4>Adding parts to the registry</h4>

<p>You can add parts to the Registry at our <a href="http://parts.igem.org/Add_a_Part_to_the_Registry">Add a Part to the Registry</a> link.</p>

<p>We encourage teams to start completing documentation for their parts on the Registry as soon as you have it available. The sooner you put up your parts, the better you will remember all the details about your parts. Remember, you don't need to send us the DNA sample before you create an entry for a part on the Registry. (However, you <b>do</b> need to send us the DNA sample before the Jamboree. If you don't send us a DNA sample of a part, that part will not be eligible for awards and medal criteria.)</p>

<h4>What information do I need to start putting my parts on the Registry?</h4>

<p>The information needed to initially create a part on the Registry is:</p>

<ul>

<li>Part Name</li>

<li>Part type</li>
 
−
<li>Creator</li>

<li>Sequence</li>

We encourage you to put up <em>much more</em> information as you gather it over the summer. If you have images, plots, characterization data and other information, please also put it up on the part page. </p>

Part Documentation

For our project, we ordered 3 G Blocks from IDT that we assembled into plasmids using NEB HiFi Assembly. These 3 assembled plasmids will be submitted as composite parts to the iGEM registry, each containing a promoter, RBS, and gene. For all of the parts we made, we used the strong constitutive promoter BBa_J23100 and the RBS BBa_B0034.

The first G block and composite part we made is the CUP1 gene from S. cerevisiae (NCBI ID 856450) with the strong constitutive promoter BBa_J23100 and the RBS BBa_B0034. The composite part for this promoter, RBS, and gene is BBa_K1811777. The documented basic registry part for the CUP1 gene is BBa_M45090.

The second G block and composite part we made is the CUP1 gene from S. cerevisiae that has been codon optimized for E. coli tRNA abundance. This codon optimized CUP1 gene is listed as a basic part with number BBa_K1811222. The composite part with the strong constitutive promoter BBa_J23100 and the RBS BBa_B0034 is BBa_K1811888.

The third G block and composite part we made is the codon optimized CUP1 gene from S. cerevisiae fused with the LamB gene from E. coli. LamB is a gene that codes for an outer membrane transport channel that transports maltose and maltodextrins. LamB is also the receptor for phage lambda. We removed the stop codon of CUP1 and inserted its sequence into amino acid position 153 of LamB. The basic part for this gene fusion is BBa_K1811333. The composite part with the strong constitutive promoter BBa_J23100 and the RBS BBa_B0034 is BBa_K1811666.

The fourth G block and composite part we plan on making is still being planned out. We plan on designing a G block with codon optimized CUP1, an RBS, and a copper sensitive promoter. We are still deciding on exactly what copper sensitive promoter to use.
