appMAGI: A complete laboratory information management system for clinical diagnostics.

Background: The increasing demand for genetic testing for clinical diagnosis and research challenges genetic laboratory capacity to track an increasing number of patient samples through all steps of analysis, from sample collection to report generation. This task is usually performed with the help of a laboratory information management system (LIMS), software that makes it possible to collect, store and retrieve laboratory and sample data. To date there are no open-source options that can manage the entire analytical flow of a genetic laboratory.
