Revision as of 11:46, 13 February 2012
- Jeffrey E. Barrick 15:34, 4 February 2012 (EST):Can you explain in a little more detail what PoPs is meant to characterize about a part?
- --mpatel927@gmail.com 13:46, 13 February 2012 (EST) I have added information to the PoPS section explaining what it is and how it is used in BioBrick™ manipulation.
- Jeffrey E. Barrick 15:34, 4 February 2012 (EST): It's a small distinction, but BioBricks are trademarked ™ not copyrighted ©. There's even a note about why they are trademarked.
- Peter Otoupal 22:36, 5 February 2012 (EST): So they're trademarked... so that they're free to use?
- Jeffrey E. Barrick 00:23, 6 February 2012 (EST):The trademark is so that you know you are referring to a specific instance of the term BioBrick™. Is it also used in in other contexts, but with the symbol BioBricks™ can only be used to talk about the DNA parts. Copyright usually refers to rights to reproduce written ideas and published works. We should also talk about patenting, which has to do with freedom for using ideas for profiting. Yes, BioBricks (the DNA parts) are free to use.
- Jeffrey E. Barrick 15:41, 4 February 2012 (EST):Please give an example of a part name and go through the steps of decoding what it means for a specific example.
- Jeffrey E. Barrick 15:44, 4 February 2012 (EST):Maybe add a few notes about how reliable a part ordered from Addgene might be versus one from the iGEM registry as was discussed in class?
