=Description=

"The project, called BIOFAB: International Open Facility Advancing
Biotechnology -- or just BIOFAB for short -- aims to boost the ease of
bioengineering with "biological parts" that are shared resources,
standardized and reliable enough that they can be switched in and out
of a genome like electronic parts in a radio. If BIOFAB's vision is
realized, researchers will be able to access an online registry and
simply order what they need. The project is funded by a two-year $1.4
million grant from the National Science Foundation, as well as support
from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the [[BioBricks Foundation]] (BBF), a nonprofit organization promoting synthetic biology."
