Hi,
This sounds like one great program for upstream processes for DNA
sequencing.
However, will the program be able to handle down stream process? This
question targets the issues of data entry and logs for sample setup. I have
visited a couple of web sites and companies that use hand written submission
forms that are manually entered by the secretary. This seems to be the
bottle neck encountered by small DNA sequencing labs or start up companies
when going through a high sample through put from time to time.
How will the program(MAC) run for files originating from 3700(PC)?
Will the program be a freeware application?
At Rockefeller, we have basic programs that handles web submission via Excel
98. Excel 98 creates logs for reaction, sample sheets, customer e-mail
notification, and sample file compressions and transfers. We process about
100,000 DNA sequencing samples a year.
Programs being used are Excel 98, Outlook Express, Dropstuff, and Apple
script. Excel spreadsheets contain formulas and macros, i.e. command lines,
to instruction other applications.
Will your program be running the same applications? Will they run behind the
scene?
