<p>Complete the spreadsheet. Include all whole organisms that you will handle in the lab, whether you are using them as a chassis or for some other reason. Include all <strong>new</strong> or <strong>highly modified</strong> protein coding parts that you are using. If you submitted a Check-In for an organism or part, you should still include it in this spreadsheet.</p>
