GNomEx is a laboratory information management and data repository system developed for genomic research facilities. It combines the management of laboratory experiments with the organisation and distribution of the resulting genomic data.
The application allows core facilities to receive experimental requests, track laboratory work and deliver results. Samples and experiments can be annotated with information about the technologies used, the research involved and the analyses performed. These records help maintain the relationship between experimental material and the datasets subsequently produced.
GNomEx also provides a repository for raw and processed genomic data. Research groups can organise datasets and make information available to collaborators with appropriate permissions. It supports connections to genome browsers for viewing data in a genomic context.
Its original architecture uses an Adobe Flash client interface connected to a server application. This creates a significant compatibility limitation because Flash is no longer supported by mainstream web browsers.
This is free and open source software.
