The BioBrick Characterization Data Depot (BBCDD) is a semi-standardized database designed for iGEM teams to upload their characterization to. Originally intended to share the multivariate characterization data of riboTALs, the BBCDD was repurposed for sharing data of all part types to promote openness within iGEM and synthetic biology.

Motivation: Openness and Empowerment

The from the iGEM DNA distribution kit and registry, to the eagerness faculty and universities across the globe, the iGEM competition empowers students to make a brilliant idea into a tangible, presentable project. This fact is made clear depth by the number and depth of projects in past years.

However, as the competition and project complexity grows, designing BioBrick circuits can be dramatically slowed by the large number of relationships and dependencies that the more numerous BioBricks have between one another[1].
