MISO is a modular laboratory information management system (LIMS) that handles next-generation sequencing experiments, including the tracking and recording of sequencing metadata.
Product history
Development for MISO began in February 2010 by Dr. Robert Davey and the Core Bioinformatics Team of The Genome Analysis Centre, located in the United Kingdom. The first release of MISO occurred internally on September 19, 2011, beginning with version 0.1.1 (Hydrogen). Once several revisions took place, the software was released as free open-source software on May 31, 2012, represented as version 0.1.6 (Carbon).[1] On July 15, Dr. Davey presented MISO to attendees of the 20th Annual International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology, demonstrating installation, developmental insight, and future features.[2][3]
