These building blocks are used to design and assemble larger synthetic biological circuits from individual parts and combinations of parts with defined functions, which would then be incorporated into living cells such as Escherichia coli cells to construct new biological systems. Examples of BioBrick parts include promoters, ribosomal binding sites (RBS), coding sequences and terminators.

==Overview== thumb|200px|right|Abstraction hierarchy allows the breakdown of complexity. The BioBrick parts are used by applying engineering principles of abstraction and modularization. BioBrick parts form the base of the hierarchical system on which synthetic biology is based. There are three levels to the hierarchy: Parts: Pieces of DNA that form a functional unit (for example promoter, RBS, etc.) Device: Collection set of parts with defined function. In simple terms, a set of complementary BioBrick parts put together forms a device. System: Combination of a set of devices that performs high-level tasks. The development of standardized biological parts allows for the rapid assembly of sequences. The ability to test individual parts and devices to be independently tested and characterized also improves the reliability of higher-order systems.
