    LIMS for Genomics Core?

    Hi All,

    We are looking for a commercial LIMS for a recently combined microarray, Sanger-Seq and NGS Academic Core facility. We have been through the build-vs-buy and prefer a commercial provider.

    We have looked at Genologics, Geospiza, and Sapio Sciences. If there are any users out there of these (or other) LIMS systems, we would greatly appreciate any feedback you would share.

    Thank you!

    We have used Geospiza for many years in our Sanger facility and it worked great.

    We built our own next-gen LIMs in 2007 as there was little choice to do otherwise. We have not switched over yet but continue to look at this space. There is a nice post on the galaxy LIMs which I'd recommend you take a look at.

      Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by GATTACAT
      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

      The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
