The main page of the yearly iGEM wiki is constantly changing. We make an effort to keep all pertinent information easy to access from the main page. Occassionally, though, you may find that a link that you saw before is no longer easy to find. Please use the links below to go back to the main page for each iGEM season. We hope that this will be a valuable information resource for past, current, and future iGEM members.

Important Jamboree Information
|
The Jamboree is fast approaching! Here is some information to help prepare you for the weekend: |
Jamboree HandbookWiki Freeze Today
|
The wiki freeze is tonight! Be sure to have all of your project information on the 2009 iGEM wiki by 11:59pm EDT. You will not be able to make any edits to the wiki after that time. Also due: Update: There were some wiki loading issues leading up to the wiki freeze. To find out more see the report page. |
Submit your judging form
|
You can now submit your team's judging form! The forms are due on October 21 at 11:59pm, EDT. You may edit the form up until the deadline, at which point the wiki will freeze and you will not be able to make any changes. Note: Software tool teams now have a specialized version of the judging form that reflects the medal requirements for software teams. |
Wiki Freeze & Judging Form
|
There is only ONE week left until the wiki freeze! Be sure to finalize all of your information on the iGEM wiki and the Registry before the deadline so that the judges can review your project. The judging form is also due on October 21 at 11:59pm, EDT. The form will be released shortly so keep checking 2009.igem.org for updates. |
Show off your team spirit!
|
The Jamboree is less than a month away, and although you must be busy with preparations, you should also think about your team t-shirts. You're representing your team and university, so why not show off! Design and wear your team t-shirt, especially for the iGEM from Above photograph. And since this year's Jamboree falls on Halloween (October 31) weekend, it'll be fun to have a team costume or mascot. |
Volunteering for the Jamboree

We're currently looking for volunteers who would like to help out during the iGEM 2009 Jamboree (October 30th to November 2nd). If you're an iGEM alum, interested in synthetic biology, or would like to take a peek at what we're doing at iGEM and the Registry of standard parts, we'd love to have your help.
