STARLIMS implementation at the California Animal Health and Food Safety Labs (CAHFS) at the University of California, Davis, will cover 200 users across 5 different sites. The LIMS system will address key IT needs with standards based messaging (PHIN-MS, HL7) and standardization of data (LOINC, SNOMED).

As of 2005, there are around 650 public and commercial biological databases [1]. These databases contain information about nucleotide sequences of genes or amino acid sequences of proteins. Furthermore information about function, structure, localisation on chromosome, clinical effects of mutations as well as similarities of biological sequences can be found. The terms "database development" and "biological informatics activities" describe a range of activities, from formative, theoretical development of new algorithms, data structures and tools specific to the management of biological information to the development and utilization of established resources needed by whole communities of biological researchers.
