Freezer Management (BioMortar)

Our freezer management was done using BioMortar. BioMortar is an application written in-house for administration of BioBricks. It understands standard assembly and can gather information from the Parts Registry. BioMortar will also be capable of generating protocols for future projects.

Originally, we were keeping track of everything in spreadsheets, but this became burdensome quickly. BioMortar was supposed to be more than a simple freezer manager. It is specifically geared to iGEM and Standard Assembly so it keeps track of BioBrick part numbers and also knows that some parts are composite parts made of other parts. The advantage of this is that it can construct sequences for composite parts automatically. Although Standard Assembly makes it easy to ligate parts, it is fairly easy to reverse the enzymes accidentally. One of the goals of BioMortar was to generate prepared protocols with the enzymes filled in to prevent such errors. It also could do the math to calculate the quantities of solutions needed.

Oligos

A list of all oligos we've used, either as PCR primers or for other purposes.

Protocols

The list of protocols used can be found on the Protocols page.
