Measurement Hub

Precise and accurate measurements are how iGEM teams communicate the results of their work. They engage creatively with issues relating (but not limited) to instrumentation, assay methods, experimental design, reproducibility, modeling, and prediction. The challenges of measurement can be complex, but they are foundational to the conduct of science and engineering. A careful approach to measurement helps teams succeed in their goals, and helps their work have impact on the iGEM community, throughout synthetic biology, and in the world at large.

"Measurement is fundamentally an act of communication." - Jacob Beal

Introduction

Learn about Measurement and why it is an important part of iGEM.

INTRODUCTION

How to Succeed

Careful measurement practices are a hallmark of successful iGEM projects. Check out our tips for taking successful measurements in synthetic biology.

Resources

Getting started? These resources can help you think about how to integrate good measurements in your project design.

RESOURCES

Measurement Protocols

Good protocols are key to measurement. This year, teams can use Protocols.io to describe and share their protocols. Find out how you can make the most of this tool, and see existing iGEM measurement protocols you can use.

PROTOCOLS

Exemplary Projects

Teams approach the measurement aspects of their projects in many thoughtful and creative ways. Here are some exemplary projects.

EXAMPLES

Committee

Measurement efforts at iGEM are guided by this committee.

COMMITTEE

InterLab Study

Important Change for 2019: As announced during last year's Giant Jamboree Opening Ceremony, we will NOT be holding an InterLab Study for iGEM 2019. This means the 2019 teams will not be able to participate in an interlab study for one of the bronze medal criterion. This is a change from 2017 and 2018.

Questions?

If you have questions or suggestions, please email us at measurement AT igem DOT org . We love hearing from teams. Best of luck with your projects!

iGEM Foundation

The International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of synthetic biology, education and competition, and the development of an open community and collaboration. Visit us at igem.org
