Abstract
Genomics is now commonly accepted to support the implementation of precision medicine, and some of techniques such as human whole genome sequencing, human whole exome sequencing, and cancer genomics, have been used to more accurately guide individual clinical diagnosis. For the foreseeable future, clinical diagnosis will broadly use genomics. Therefore, the acceleration of the sequencing and analysis work-flows is very important, especially for clinical emergency treatment. The experimental work-flow includes sample warehousing, plasma separation, nucleic acid extraction, library construction, concentration and peak map detection, pooling, sequencing, and etc. In this paper, we introduce a smart laboratory information system that helps laboratories to acquire samples efficiently, track samples, automate routine tasks, optimize procedures and workflows, operate tens of thousands of samples in parallel, as well as integrate with sequencing instruments and analysis pipelines. The system could accelerate a lot the production work-flow of genomics research laboratories.
