iGEM relies on a number of foundational technologies to function. We use BioBricks, standardization (RFCs), high-throughput quality control and many other processes to run the competition. The Foundational Advance track allows teams to come up with novel solutions to technical problems surrounding core synbio technologies. For example, the discovery and application of DNA recombination allowed us to assemble new genes. What are other types of basic tricks does nature use? Have you discovered and applied one that could revolutionize synthetic biology?
