Medal Requirements for the 2013 Regional Jamborees are now available! Please look over the requirements as they have changed since 2012. There are now four criteria to achieve a silver medal. Good luck teams!

As you begin to work on your projects, you may find that you need to use parts which weren't included in the 2013 DNA Distribution Kit.

Teams are welcome to request additional parts from the Registry, and should check out the Requesting Parts page before doing so. This page will help you determine sample availability, and show you where to locate quality control information about your part sample of interest!

Dear iGEMers,

Due to recent events, activities related to iGEM 2013 such as the DNA distribution manufacturing, team approvals, and communication with iGEM HQ, have all been delayed.
We expect to be able to ship out the new 2013 DNA distribution as soon as possible, likely in the middle of May.
We thank you for your patience at this time.
