'''MetaLIMS''' is an open-source [[laboratory information management system]] (LIMS) for small metagenomic laboratories, particularly those "that wish to store metagenomic sample collection and processing information but do not need the extra bulk of recording NGS or analysis data, which is common in many NGS LIMS."<ref name="HeinleMetaLIMS17">{{cite journal |title=MetaLIMS, a simple open-source laboratory information management system for small metagenomic labs |journal=Gigascience |author=Heinle, C.E.; Gaultier, N.P.E.; Miller, D. et al. |volume=6 |issue=6 |pages=1–6 |year=2017 |doi=10.1093/gigascience/gix025 |pmid=28430964 |pmc=PMC5449644}}</ref>

==Product history==
The software started out as NanoLIMS, with a GitHub project started in September 2015 by Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering's Cassie Heinle.<ref name="NanoLIMSFirstComm">{{cite web |url=https://github.com/cheinle/NanoLIMS/commit/856e24776a1c76154b4df6470dd53d41ae9bd9f1 |title=Initial commit |work=NanoLIMS |publisher=GitHub, Inc |date=22 September 2015 |accessdate=06 October 2017}}</ref> Initially designed for environmental metagenomics labs, the software was further developed for use by smaller labs with limited IT resources.<ref name="HeinleMetaLIMS17" /> In February 2017, the project was renamed to MetaLIMS "due to possible IP conflict,"<ref name="NanoLIMSHomeArch">{{cite web |url=https://github.com/cheinle/NanoLIMS |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171006175922/https://github.com/cheinle/NanoLIMS |title=NanoLIMS |publisher=GitHub, Inc |archivedate=06 October 2017 |accessdate=06 October 2017}}</ref> and version 2.0 (the first public release) was released.<ref name="MetaLIMSReleases" /> A 2.1 version with bug fixes was released in April.<ref name="MetaLIMSReleases" />
