| | LIMS Blog | An Introduction to Next Generation Sequencing An Introduction to Next Generation Sequencing The high demand for low-cost sequencing has driven the development of high-throughput sequencing, which is also termed as Next generation sequencing (NGS). Thousands or millions of sequences are concurrently produced in the next-generation sequencing process. Next generation sequencing has become a commodity. With the commercialization of various affordable desktop sequencers, NGS will be of reach to more traditional wet-lab biologists .
Drawing from the obvious goodwill and community spirit displayed on discussion forums, and exploiting the collaborative tools made available by the Wikimedia foundation, this free ebook: http://www.limsbook.com/an-introduction-to-next-generation-sequencing/1844/ is designed to initiate the editing of a collaborative WikiBook on NGS. Ultimately, our goal is to create a collective lab book that explains the key concepts and describes best practices in NGS. Please download the free ebook or login with your Linkedin account and read it on-line. Please post back comments for improvements.
| | Articles | The Legacy LIMS Folly Many laboratories face this same issue. A dated, legacy LIMS exist. It lacks needed capabilities. It cannot be remotely accessed. No client portal exists. It does not integrate with all of the newer instruments. It cannot produce new, needed reports. It cannot effectively update QC reports. Its query functions are extremely limited. It is failing under the higher workload. It cannot operate on the “new” computers. Yet, it, that old LIMS, is vital to the day to day operation of the laboratory. “If we could just get by this one more year… We’ll replace it next year!” And that has been said for five years straight.
