GenoLogics Life Sciences Software develops and distributes laboratory informatics software, with a strong focus on the life sciences, especially genomics and proteomics.

History

GenoLogics was founded in 2002 as a privately-held company in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.[2] One of its first products was Proteus, a laboratory information management system (LIMS) for proteomics; it was beta tested by eight facilities in the fall of 2003 before eventually being released to the market in 2004.[3][4] In October of that year GenoLogics also released its Omix LIMS for systems biology research[5], followed by the June 2006 development announcement of its Geneus LIMS for genomics.[6]

In November 2008, GenoLogics announced it would begin a collaboration with Illumina, Inc. to supply its Geneus software for Illumina's hardware sequencing platform, then called Genome Analyzer.[7] A similar collaboration was agreed upon with Applied Biosystems, Inc. the following year.[8]

In July 2011, GenoLogics phased out its Geneus, Omix, and Proteus software in favor of its new GenoLogics LIMS product.[9][10] A few months before this transition, GenoLogics reaffirmed its collaboration with Illumina, stating that it's new GenoLogics LIMS would be incorporated in Illumina's next series of hardware sequencing platforms.[11] The GenoLogics LIMS was rebranded in October 2012 as Clarity LIMS.[12]

In September 2014, GenoLogics again renewed its collaboration with Illumina, this time announcing its Clarity LIMS would be integrated into Illumina's new HiSeq X Ten hardware sequencing platforms. GenoLogics also announced "Illumina will be using GenoLogics’ LIMS to support its collaboration with Genomics England to sequence 100,000 genomes."[13] In February 2015, GenoLogics announced it would be expanding its operations into California citing "increased demand for informatics among labs conducting translational and clinical genomics."[14]

In an August 2015 press release, Illumina announced it had agreed to acquire GenoLogics, which would become part of the Illumina Enterprise Informatics business.[15] In March or April 2016, GenoLogics changed the name of Clarity LIMS to "BaseSpace Clarity LIMS."[16][17]

Technology and products

Clarity LIMS

Clarity LIMS is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) for genomics and mass spectrometry laboratories. It comes in several versions: Gold, "built specifically for the needs of clinical or research, genomics and mass spec laboratories,"[18] and Silver, "built specifically for the needs of clinical medium-sized to large-sized commercial or core genomics laboratories."[19] Both versions are available for on-premises installation or hosting under the SaaS model.[20]

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:
  • the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
  • the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
  • the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
  • the feature does not exist for the product.
A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
