Start a Team
There are several things you need to consider before starting an iGEM team; here are some guidelines to help!
Visa Help
iGEM can provide you with an invitation letter to start your visa application process. We recommend you apply early!
Cloning Help
Cloning is difficult. No one who has ever picked up a pipette in the lab would debate this fact. However, cloning shouldn't be impossible! This page exists to help students and teams who are struggling with cloning and other molecular techniques.
Parts Registry
The iGEM Registry is a growing collection of genetic parts that can be mixed and matched to build synthetic biology devices and systems. As part of the synthetic biology community's efforts to make biology easier to engineer, it provides a source of genetic parts to iGEM teams and academic labs.
Telling Your Story
Telling your story in a clear and concise way is challenging, but well worth the effort in the end. The goal of this page is to help teams understand the importance of scientific communication.
Wiki Editing Help
All iGEM wiki sites are powered by Mediawiki. Using/editing the wiki is a trial-and-error process. Editing the wiki is a simple, fun thing to do and you definitely get better the more you play around with it.
Using HTML, CSS and Javascript
All the iGEM web sites are built on top of MediaWiki, which allows groups of people to create and edit pages easily. This page can help you add HTML, CSS and Javascript to your wiki.
