Porting over the MIT Registry / Response Time

[nikos.ign...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

I have some questions regarding the official registry: Is it supposed to just be a testing platform (e.g. for new users) or will it eventually become a comprehensive registry of most parts available publicly? If it is the latter, are there any plans to incorporate all the "MIT registry" parts into this database? I suppose it could be an interesting side project to add all the parts either to the JBEI registry or to a new ICE registry. Access to the "MIT" parts via the APIs could "spawn" some interesting iGEM software projects.

I also have a question regarding the response times: Using the official registry, I occasionally have to wait a bit longer until the results are shown. Is this a server issue? 

Best regards,

Nikos

Hello,

Currently, it is the latter. We will look into incorporating the MIT registry parts soon. 

In terms of the search response time, this is a server issue that has been resolved in the new version. I will be rolling that out at the end of this week. If you encounter any issues please don't hesitate to file a bug report or let me know

Thanks.
