BioBrick Search - Background

Conventional Search at partsregistry.org

  • Not very useful
  • Problems we spotted:
  • Results are not sorted by

reliability or relevance

  • Information given in the

result list is insufficient

Methods for retrieving data

We made scripts for retrieving data & storing them into server

  • They automatically collect necessary data from:
  • Past Project Search ... wiki, team info, jamboree result page
  • BioBrick Search ... partsregistry database and wiki

25 Saturday, November 3, 12

slide-26
SLIDE 26
  • Publicly available since this August
  • Made a community post at iGEM official page
  • Accessed from 16 different countries
  • Received favorable responses
  • “We successfully found the appropriate parts from their

functions”

  • “We took into account the "reliability" score to determine

which BioBrick parts to use”

  • Made improvements based on feedbacks from users
  • Search history at the top of the page
  • Direct link to the partsregistry.org wiki page
