SEQwiki (aka Seqanswers wiki) is selected as the semantic wiki of the month (January 2012). SEQwiki is a wiki database of tools, service providers, and tutorials for analyzing DNA data retrieved through high-throughput sequencing (HTS). It was created and is run by the community at http://seqanswers.com. I encourage you to provide your knowledge to the wiki if you are developer or user of next generation sequencing (NGS) tools.

Biosample

A custom data repository for biosamples

NGS Drupal

The emergence of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) in combination with a large collection of biosamples make it necessary to store metadata in some convenient way. There exist some free LIMS-type systems that potentially could fulfill some of the criterias. However none of them are really adapted to handle NGS data following the MIxS standard. My idea is to create a custom repository using Drupal that may store all metadata in a standardized way.
