Parkour is a free open-source laboratory information management system (LIMS) released under the GNU General Public License v3.0. The software is tailored to meeting the needs of high-throughput sequencing laboratories. The developers at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics state it was "designed to coordinate laboratory work by clearly structuring tasks and facilitate high-quality sample preparation."[2]

Product history

In May 2016[4], after finding commercial options expensive or lacking in required features, researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics and the University of Freiburg began work on developing a laboratory information management system (LIMS) for not only next-generation sequencing sample management and preparation but also for documenting experimental procedures and standardizing experimental metadata.[5] Once the software reached a strong enough development stage, they published an article about their LIMS in the journal Bioinformatics in September 2018, making the software available on GitHub.[5] In January 2020, a stable first release, as 0.1.0, appeared on GitHub after more than a year of institutional use.[1]

An updated version of Parkour—referred to as Parkour2—was added to GitHub in June 2022[6], with a first stable release appearing on August 12, 2022, as 0.3.4.[7]

Features

A collection of features are not clearly stated, but a few things can be discerned from the user manual:

  • request management
  • sample and library management
  • sample preparation
  • sample pooling
  • flowcell management
  • index generation
  • invoicing
  • user management
  • statistics

Hardware/software requirements

The software requires[7]:

  • Docker
  • Python 3.8+
  • Django 3.2+
  • PostgreSQL 14.3+
  • NGINX 1.23+
  • Python dependencies like numpy 1.23+, psycopg2-binary 2.8.6+, pandas 1.4.3+, and gunicorn 20.1+
