Introduction

Standardization of components and processes has led to major advances in mature engineering disciplines. From screw threads to British Standards to unit operations, engineering has benefited from doing things in a standard way. The engineering of biological systems will also benefit from the development and implementation of standard components and practices. This page is intended to aggregate some of the different standards that the Synthetic Biology Working Group is trying to develop.

Standards

• Registry of Standard Biological Parts
• Standard vectors
• Standard cellular chasis
• Standard methods for part characterization
  • Standardized GFP quantification
• Standard culture media
• Standard abstraction framework for engineered biological systems
