Zusammenfassung
We have surveyed three molecular biology labs in Germany and Vietnam to evaluate practical problems in the management of molecular genetics data. These labs are generating a large amount of heterogeneous genetic data. Without a long-term and uniform storage as well as the assistance of proper statistical analysis tools, the management and evaluation of experimental data has become difficult. Based on the formalized workflow and collected data elements, a common data model is created. A Web application is designed and developed to provide all essential features of a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). The system can be used to manage and evaluate DNA sequence and microsatellite data in both plant and animal breeding for all different species. Under Open Source GNU public license, our software package will be released via the virtualization technology.
