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]
