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 of 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 BioBrick circuits become more complex, their design process can be dramatically slowed by the large number of relationships and dependencies between their individual parts.[1].
