#*A BioBrick™ standard biological part is a standard biological part that meets the technical and legal standards set forth by the BioBricks™ Foundation (BBF). Each distinct BioBrick™ standard biological part is a nucleic acid-encoded molecular biological function (e.g., turn on/off gene expression), along with the associated information defining and describing the part. | #*A BioBrick™ standard biological part is a standard biological part that meets the technical and legal standards set forth by the BioBricks™ Foundation (BBF).
