Agreed term definitions
Biobricks – DNA sequence with defined structure, function and standardised ends for use in easy assembly.
Vector – tool made of genetic material used to transfer foreign genetic material into a cell.
Plasmid backbone – circular vector with selection marker capable of holding a DNA insert.
Assembly – combination of parts to create a whole.
Chassis – cell used to house and hold parts together, providing an environment for propagation and function.
Open sourcing – Principle of access to source information and/or materials without obstacles of copyright or profit making.
Digestion – process of chemically breaking down larger molecules into smaller parts.
Registry of standard biological parts – catalogue of Biobricks and their characterisation and categorisation information.
Engineering – Practical application of scientific and mathematical principles.
Synthetic – made through a process that alters naturally occurring material.
Protein – molecule made from one or more amino acid chains with a specific 3D structure and function, made by and required for life.
DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid. No simple definition despite common beliefs eg code of life.
