The Genomics Core Lab provides next-generation sequencing services which is available to all intramural researchers. The Core has a requirement for a web-based laboratory information management system for sample submission and tracking. The web form serves two functions - for end users to submit sample data, and for super user to track sample data and generate reports. The database would also incorporate legacy sample data for tracking. The software must offer the following functions: 1. An intranet-accessible web form for end users to submit NGS sample data, individually or in bulk. Depending upon the field type, data will be auto-populated, constrained via validation criteria or pull-down menus, and/or entered as free text. 2. Local access by Core staff to manage user accounts and sample data, and to track samples through the sequencing workflow. 3. The ability to generate various reports specified by Core staff. 4. The ability to integrate legacy sample data into the database. 5. The software/database must be hosted locally and administered by Core staff. 6. Pricing includes training for Core staff in software/database administration. Standard end-user functions: 1. Log in to website 2. Specify individual or bulk submission 3. Enter data for one or more samples 4. Edit data if necessary 5. Submit form 6. Log out 7. Email alert sent to super user Super user functions: 1. Log in to website 2.
