Tooluniverse Synthetic Biology Parts

Look up synthetic biology genetic parts (promoters, RBS, CDS/genes, terminators, reporters, composite devices) from the SynBioHub repository, including the iGEM Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Use when someone asks to "find a genetic part", "look up a BioBrick", "search SynBioHub", "get the sequence for BBa_...", "browse iGEM part collections", "find a promoter/RBS/terminator for a genetic circuit", or "what parts are available for [organism/function]". NOT for plasmid backbone/vector lookup by catalog ID (use tooluniverse-molecular-cloning's Addgene coverage), NOT for primer design once a part sequence is chosen (use tooluniverse-primer-design). Honest: SynBioHub disabled anonymous public REST access upstream — every unauthenticated call currently returns 401/HTML-login-page, verified live. This skill explains that limitation plainly and how to unlock real access (SYNBIOHUB_API_TOKEN) rather than pretending the tools work with no setup.
