THE LIMS SCORING TOOL FOR MAIZE MAPPING PROJECT

¹ Maize Mapping Project, University of Missouri-Columbia

² USDA-ARS Plant Genetics Research Unit Missouri-Columbia

The LIMS Scoring system is an integrated tool that keeps track of the map scoring information as well as reporting it in different formats. The System records SSR, RFLP, INDEL and SNP markers from the maize IBM population. This system is the entry point for the data shown in the Integrated Physical and Genetic Map (iMap). LIMS is highly modular, allowing additional capabilities to be added to the code with a minimum of programming. Implementations are available for personal computers based on Intel processors (IBM-compatibles) MS-Windows. To download the software you can visit our web site at http://www.maizemap.org/ The System was developed using the client/server architecture where the client can get/set information from/to the database though the server using Object Database Connectivity (ODBC), which allows the use of different Data Base Management Systems like Sybase, MS-SQL Server, Oracle. It was programmed in Visual Basic for the user interface and Sybase as a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). Now it is also available as a stand-alone version for Intel processors using Microsoft ACCESS as Database.
