BioBrick standard variance requests
One of the requirements for iGEM is that teams are required to provide their parts to the Registry as standard biological parts in standard BioBrick plasmids. If a team wishes to use a different plasmid or different assembly method, they must document the new standard, explain their decision, and receive approval from iGEM Headquarters by the stated deadline. Please send your requests to judging AT igem DOT org.

Poster judging
For the 2009 iGEM Jamboree there will be two poster sessions. Each team will be assigned a poster location during one of the sessions.
Poster judging will occur throughout the day on both Saturday and Sunday. It is important that your poster convey all of the information necessary without the need for verbal explanation. Once the poster judging team has been to your poster, they will leave a marker indicating that your poster has been judged.
