LIMS (again)

[sklages]

Hi,

there were several inquiries in the past about open source LIMS which can be used in NGS. There are few, one software which looks very promising (to me) is GNomEx, http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/11/455

Is someone running GNomEx in a production environment and could share their experience?

I am looking for some LIMSoid software managing NGS samples and runs (not necessarily the run data itself). Any other (free) software to recommend?

thanks, Sven

We are successfully running a home-made solution (Sierra) for some time now. It is simple, very straight forward to use and really saves lots of time trying to organise tons of data. You can take a look at http://www.bioinformatics.bbsrc.ac.uk/projects/sierra/.

Thanks for the link, I will have a look. Looks promising as well :-)

Has anyone looked at Galaxy LIMs?

Galaxy does not support a full-blown LIMS, but it does support sample tracking, which sounds like it may be some of what you are looking for.

I case you are interested in a simple and free sample tracking system have a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/onco...urce=directory

Will give it a try soon; currently my "favorite" is openBIS.
