iGEM stands for Internationally Gentically Engineered Machines. It began as a friendly competition between 10 MIT teams in 2004, and has since grown to over 130 teams in 2010 from all different countries around the globe. This year even more teams are anticipated, and there will be regional competitions held before the annual international jamboree held at MIT in the fall.

iGem revolves around two main ideas: Biobricks and the Registry. Biobricks are pieces of DNA that have been given a similar structure and that code for something useful. They can be big or small and may contain one or many individual pieces of useful information all packaged into one coherent piece. The “packaging” for each Biobrick is the same, facilitating the use of the parts.

Each new part, once confirmed, is sent to MIT and physically stored there in the Registry. Any other iGem team can order any Biobrick from the Rigistry for use in their project, and get physical copies that are easily cultured and can be quickly used, without having to be manufactured by the teams. This open source structure speeds up progress and makes it easier for researchers to accomplish their projects.

What is iGem?


iGEM stands for Internationally Gentically Engineered Machines. It began as a friendly competition between 10 MIT teams in 2004, and has since grown to over 130 teams in 2010 from all different countries around the globe. This year even more teams are anticipated, and there will be regional competitions held before the annual international jamboree held at MIT in the fall.

iGem revolves around two main ideas: Biobricks and the Registry. Biobricks are pieces of DNA that have been given a similar structure and that code for something useful. They can be big or small and may contain one or many individual pieces of useful information all packaged into one coherent piece. The “packaging” for each Biobrick is the same, facilitating the use of the parts.

Each new part, once confirmed, is sent to MIT and physically stored there in the Registry. Any other iGem team can order any Biobrick from the Rigistry for use in their project, and get physical copies that are easily cultured and can be quickly used, without having to be manufactured by the teams. This open source structure speeds up progress and makes it easier for researchers to accomplish their projects.
