Parkour LIMS supports high-throughput sequencing laboratories with sample
|
|
|
management, documentation, tracking, and evaluation. Parkour has a web-based
|
|
|
interface that can be accessed by different user groups. Any *Active user*
|
|
|
(see 2.2 permissions) can access the software, create new requests for
|
|
|
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), follow the status of the request over the
|
|
|
different stages of the workflow in real-time, store any request related data
|
|
|
for documentation, and upload request related metadata to public sequencing
|
|
|
data archives. User with *Staff* permissions and higher (see 2.2 permissions)
|
|
|
can access any part of the software to edit and process requests and
|
|
|
samples through the different stages of the workflow including *Request
|
|
|
overview ~ Incoming Libraries and Samples ~ Index Generator ~ Preparation
|
|
|
~ Pooling ~ Load Flowcells ~ Invoicing ~ Usage ~ Statistics*. Access to
|
|
|
the *Admin area* allows dynamic content adjustment as well as
|
|
|
user management without any software programming knowledge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Parkour's general principles are a simple yet functional web interface,
|
|
|
ease of use, user input validation, and fast data processing.
|
|
|
Interestingly for software developers, Parkour's dynamic structure
|
|
|
allows for any program adjustments or implementation of new features
|
|
|
into the existing workflow. Furthermore, the program can be extended to
|
|
|
support other than NGS workflows. Therefore, any samples processing
|
|
|
laboratory can profit from the usage of Parkour as a central laboratory
|
|
|
management platform.
