LIMS for Genomics Core?

[epistatic]

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.
