Hi Chris,
iGEM has a pretty good working relationship with Community Labs. We register as a different team type for the competition (see here). Aside from competing in the competition, you can still register your group with the Parts Registry (see here) to access kits. At Boslab, we also get parts samples from Addgene, Note: these methods can only be done through an company or registered non-profit. Without them, some people just request them through the mailing list, or order them from The ODIN.
Hope this helps,
Francis

Hi all,
I'm getting ready to gear up our synbio efforts at my DIYbio space and was looking iGEM and their biological parts registry as routes to go. It seems really difficult to have acess to the tools they offer and I'm honestly not sure if there's even a community iGEM track anymore. Based on posts on this mailing list (the most recent of which are several years old), it looks like the DIYbio community has more or less given up hope of having a working relationship with these folks. Which is a real shame because closing off access to parts from the public does not seem like any way to further the mission of innovating bioengineering.
Anyway, that long intro is to ask what are people in this community doing when wanting to perform synthetic biology? Is there another parts respository out there other than the one controlled by iGEM? Do you just have the requisite parts synthesized? I guess the big question is how can someone unaffiliated with an institution do work in this field?
