Jamboree registration
Registration for the iGEM 2008 Jamboree is due on September 17. After that, the fees increase $50. Everyone attending the Jamboree must register. Head to the registration page find out more details about how to register.
Documentation
According to the iGEM requirements, each iGEM team's project should be documented on the iGEM 2008 wiki site with detail enough to replicate it independently. Additional presentational information about the team - their story, the rationale for the project, failures, successes, future work, etc. - is highly encouraged. Remember that these wiki pages will be the main source of inspiration for future teams, and having good documentation on them and in the part description in the registry increases the likelihood of more teams building on your project and your parts. What is considered proper documentation is decided by the judging committee and you can find details about proper documentation at the Judging page.
iGEM requirements also state that all teams must properly document their parts on the Registry. The judging committee also decides what is considered proper part documentation. See the Judging page for details. Remember, the success of not just iGEM, but all of synthetic biology, depends on the development of well-characterized, reliable, standardized biological parts that have been designed to be simple to use and understand.
DNA submissions
**Details for iGEM 2008 DNA submissions are still being finalized. Please check back for more up to date details.**
iGEM teams are expected to submit their parts to the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. In the past, teams have been asked to submit all parts that they made over the summer. For iGEM 2008, however, this may not be the case. Check back for more details on submitting your parts.
The process for submitting DNA to the Registry will be similar to last year. Please read the DNA submission requirements to familiarize yourself with the process.
