Information technology support for clinical genetic testing within an academic medical center
Aronson et al. of Partners HealthCare and their Laboratory for Molecular Medicine (LMM) experienced first-hand the process of developing infrastructure for the germline genetic testing process. In this 2016 paper published in Journal of Personalized Medicine, the group shares its experiences of that process, from designating necessary support infrastructure (including a self-developed tool called GeneInsight Clinic) to its integration with other systems such as electronic health records, case management system, and laboratory information systems. They close by stating "a need for an application that interfaces with the range of systems" in the genetic testing environment and that "[s]uch a system could provide the basis for enhanced clinical decision support infrastructure."

A Configurable, Off-the-Shelf LIMS in a University Setting
Universities offer many professional companies a wonderful developmental ground on which to not only sale and teach, but to build and rethink. This can be particularly true while working with a LIMS in the university laboratory setting.

Sept. 08, 2016 - 14.00 MEST : Production Planning in…Principles of metadata organization at the ENCODE data coordination center
"Defining and organizing the set of metadata that is relevant, informative and applicable to diverse experimental techniques is challenging," the team of Hong et al. state in the introduction of this 2016 paper published in Database. But the team, motivated by the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and its offshoots, explain and demonstrate their metadata standard and its viability across many types of genomic assays and projects. The group believes that the standard's flexibility and ability to allow for transparent and reproducible experimental data offer much potential. "[A]long with its organizing principles and key features for implementation," they conclude, "[it] could be widely adopted as an open LIMS system."
