For the second year in a row,
Benchling is proud to help iGEM teams innovate faster!
Benchling helps scientists around the world record scientific data, design sequences, and collaborate more efficiently. For iGEM, Benchling includes two unified applications: Benchling Notebook, an electronic laboratory notebook, and Benchling Molecular Biology, a suite of sequence design and analysis tools.
Click the button below to unlock Notebook, Molecular Biology, extra space, and an enterprise feature — all for free.
We encourage each member on an iGEM team to create their own account!
NOTEBOOK
Centralized, standardized experimental notes
Replace paper and spreadsheets with a source of truth. Capture and search for all of your team's data — spreadsheets, image files, sequences, protocols, and detailed notes — in one place. Easily export Notebook entries and upload them to your iGEM Media Wiki.
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
Comprehensive sequence design and analysis
Store your sequences on the same platform where you store the rest of your data. Model assemblies, annotate constructs automatically, align sequences, design primers, and more. Then, link your sequences directly to your Notebook.
COLLABORATION
Data accessible to your entire team
Don't waste time searching for your teammates' notes. Collaborate on your protocols, sequences, and experimental results with your iGEM teammates, and access all of your team's data in one place. Share your data with other members of the iGEM community.
By signing up with the link below, iGEM teams can unlock:
Notebook, Molecular Biology, 10 GB of extra space, and Benchling Sync*
*Benchling Sync is an enterprise feature that allows you to open an attachment in its desktop application and automatically syncs edits to your Notebook.
