Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT)


For the past five years, IDT has provided free DNA synthesis to all iGEM teams. This partnership completely transformed the way that iGEMers around the world do synthetic biology, and was a big step towards bringing our vision to life: synthetic biology without DNA manipulation. We are incredibly thankful for IDT's continued support for iGEM!

IDT is once again graciously extending their FREE custom DNA offer to iGEM teams, offering 20 kb of DNA as gBlocks® Gene Fragments and Alt-R® CRISPR Genome Editing products free of charge to each iGEM 2019 team!

Cost is no longer a limiting factor in your research. With unprecedented access to DNA synthesis, you can now live in the future of synthetic biology; focusing on project design and characterization and not cost.
