- M13
- "BBa_M1307 is not a standard biological part and does not belong in the registry."
- Response: Because BBa_M1307 is the entire genome of the M13K07 phage, it is more like a system than just a single part. According to the abstraction hierarchy, a "part" is a basic biological function that can be encoded as genetic material. BBa_M1307 is composed of numerous parts, such as the promoters, ribosome binding sites, and terminators for each gene. Thus, the part BBa_M1307 could be far more useful if its individual parts were broken down and biobricked, so that they could be studied individually or rearranged to create new systems.
