iGEM 2014 Software Track

We are excited to announce that software will again play a role in the 2014 iteration of the iGEM competition. Software teams will be eligible for a software track award. Additionally, iGEM teams competing in other areas will be also eligible for a software award.

Information about the track

Starting in 2008, area awards for software tools were introduced. These efforts produced a number of truly unique software projects. However, there were a number of aspects which could be improved. Our goal is to begin the process of making the software aspects of iGEM more fully featured. This will include a centralized repository for the software tools developed. This will help to not only preserve the projects but also allow others to avoid building existing tools as well as extend them. Second, we hope to help create a community of users around specific design frameworks and community standards.

Team Projects from previous years

UT Tokyo 2012

In 2012, the UT Tokyo team created an innovative BioBrick search page. Their project was web accessible and allowed users to search the Registry for parts using many different keywords, approaches, years and other parameters. They also created a rating system for parts based on the number of uses.

iGEM Software Resources

Requirements

Requirements for Software teams will differ from other tracks, as you will not be required to contribute parts to the Registry. However, there will be additional elements to a software team.

Track Committee

We have a great committee to help out 2014 software teams:

  • Edward Perello
  • Evan Appleton
  • Sally Radwan
  • Raik Grunberg
