The site was opened up to allow any lab to join on June 22, 2005. As of August 21, 2006 the site hosted 50 research laboratories from 30 institutions, including Boston University Brown University,Caltech,Cambridge Research Institute,CNRS,Harvard University, and many others.
In addition to laboratories, a number of scientific communities are based on the site, including synthetic biology, (home), Mimulus (home), and the BioBricks Foundation (home).
