Does your team know about the changes to the DNA submission protocol for iGEM 2010? See details on how to submit your parts this year on the DNA Submission page.

Remember, the parts that you ship to iGEM HQ must be in plasmid backbone pSB1C3.

Want to continue the iGEM fun throughout the summer?

Hold a regional meetup at your school and invite your local teams. In the past, teams have come together to build bridges, craft river-worthy boats, invent egg cushions, and other fun events.

To see what events are taking place this year, check out the Summer events page. And don't forget to tell us about your meetup!

Preliminary project descriptions are due on July 16.

See the project description page for more details.
