Note: The requirements for participating in iGEM 2011 are below. iGEM HQ reserves the right to alter or amend the requirements at any time, so do check back from time to time. Any major changes will be communicated via email and the iGEM website.
iGEM teams are made up of Students, Advisors, Instructors, and an Organizer.
Team structure: Students are responsible for the primary work of a team. The standard iGEM team must have at least a 2:1 ratio of undergraduate Students to postgraduate Advisors. Several schools may combine to form a team and one school may have several teams.
Non-standard iGEM teams: These are teams with less than a 2:1 ratio of undergraduates to postgraduate Students. Special rules and awards apply to these teams.
The team's project must be documented on the iGEM Wiki, the parts used in their project must be documented in the Registry online.
Do not expect the judges to look for data on other pages in your Wiki. See the Sample Data page.
Your submissions are needed to make the Registry better and better every year. Teams are required to provide their parts to the Registry as:
The physical DNA must be received by the Registry the deadline. Be sure you understand the requirements before submitting your DNA by the deadline. The standard shipping plasmid for the Registry is pSB1C3. See the DNA submission page for more details.
Be sure you understand the requirements before submitting your DNA by the deadline.
If your team is participating in the software tools track, you must make tools for use with standard BioBrick parts. Software tools must be available as open source projects on the iGEM servers. See more information on the Software Tools page.
The description of each project must clearly attribute work done by the Students and distinguish it from work done by others, including the host labs, Advisors, Instructors, technicians, sponsors, professional website designers/ artists, and commercial services.
All team members are required to attend their Regional Jamboree in October 2011. Each team will give a 20 minute presentation and present a poster of their project. Oral and poster presentations must be given by the Students.
All participants are required to work hard to build positive contributions to society and have lots of fun.
