Genologics' detailed product roadmap for its LIMS provides the features necessary for mainstream adoption of advanced sequencing technologies while supporting existing genotyping platforms.
By incorporating a set of comprehensive features over the next year in the Genologics LIMS, the company is building on its experience in genomics to meet the standardisation, flexibility and user requirements of next-generation genomics labs.
Genologics announced that the enhancement of its LIMS will offer pre-configured integrations and interfaces to major next-generation sequencing (NGS) instruments, with the immediate availability of the Genologics LIMS pre-configured for Illumina NGS systems.
Additional pre-configured system offerings will be available in the second half of 2011, including Genologics Rapid Scripting Application Programming Interface (API), empowering scientific programmers and bioinformaticians to quickly and easily reconfigure or customise workflows as laboratory protocols change; and Role-based user interfaces that address the specific needs of laboratory managers, laboratory technicians and external collaborators.
The first role-based user interface, for lab technicians, will be available by the end of 2011.
Genologics has partnered with Illumina to develop and deliver a LIMS mapped to its NGS systems.
The Genologics LIMS not only handles the increasing volume of data produced by NGS instruments, but also data from QC, microarray and qPCR instruments.
It can interface with upstream data sources, such as freezer-management systems, and downstream data pipelining and analysis tools.
The Genologics Rapid Scripting Application Programming Interface offers next-generation genomics labs the speed-to-production advantages of a pre-configured system, but also the flexibility to quickly and easily reconfigure or customise workflows as protocols change.
It empowers scientific programmers and bioinformaticians to adapt laboratory informatics and accelerate next-generation research.
The Rapid Scripting API provides control and flexibility so lab personnel can quickly and easily: automate sample tracking to ensure quality results; incorporate new analysis methods to extract full information from leading-edge technologies; optimise laboratory research workflows to streamline operations.
