LIMS for Next gen sequencing

[aperera]

Currently we have a custom LIMS that require some updates. We are considering if we should make these changes or purchase a commercial LIMS. As for commercial LIMS we have been looking at the ones from Genologics and Geospiza. Are there others we should consider?

Can you please give some feedback on the next generation sequencing LIMS that you have at your center? If you can briefly explain why you decided on that particular LIMS, advantages and disadvantages etc I would really appreciate.

We (Huntsman Cancer Institute) just published a paper describing a Genomic LIMS and Analysis Project Center called GNomEx. It's free/ open source, supports microarray and next gen sequencing workflows and dovetails with our programmatic genomic data distribution server (GenoPub) for pushing data to DAS/2 enabled client applications such as the Integrated Genome Browser. See http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/11/455 , http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnomex/ , and a play demo server at http://diserafed.hci.utah.edu/ .

I will check this out. Thanks a lot!

And, plans like these make it sound even more attractive...
