Sequence Discovery Platform increases productivity and efficiency of sequencing laboratories by integrating and automating sequencing workflows with advanced bioinformatics and data visualization tools. This end-to-end system gives research laboratories the capability to manage increasingly complex challenges associated with producing, storing and analyzing large volumes of DNA sequence data. Meaningful scientific results can now be consistently produced and be securely shared with peers and collaborators across boundaries.

1. Laboratory administrator is informed about jobs requested
2. Sample IDs & barcodes are generated for ease of sample tracking in the laboratory
3. Cost of services are automatically computed by business rules entered by administrators
4. Results generated by instruments are automatically achieved in databases

1. Services can be requested remotely via web
2. Users are notified about completion time and cost before engaging the services
3. Progress of services can be monitored remotely (Submitted, Pending or Completed)
4. Users can choose to be informed as and when jobs are done
5. Users can download results via web as simple zipped files

• Web based
• For painless sharing and collection of information

• Costing Module
• Integrates with backend accounting packages(e.g. SAP) for on-line charging

• Instrument Management Module:
• Software agent to monitor output file creation
• Software agent to automatically transfer files to centralized database
• Software agent to track quantity of expensive resources consumed (e.g. dyes)
• Plate mapping interfaces to ease mapping of DNA samples on 96 wells plates

• Sequence Analysis Module
• Expressed sequence tags
• Genome sequencing
• Gene and SNPs discovery
• Vector sequencing for construct validation
• Auto-submission of files to GenBank and dbEST to comply with rules and regulations

• Database Module
• Supports SQL databases (e.g. mySQL, MS SQL)
• Facilitates maintenance of resources, e.g. vectors, etc.
• Automated data backups
