GNomEx functions not only as a LIMS, allowing experiment orders to be submitted to a core facility, but also as an Genomic repository to post experiment results. Since this kind of experiment is not performed within a core facility, GNomEx refers to these kinds of experiments as "External" experiments. This section describes how to submit this kind of experiment to GNomEx and upload the experiment's data files.

Click on the menu item (shown below) under the main Navigation menu 'Experiments…' to create a new experiment and upload the raw data files. Depending on how the GNomEx site is configured, the menu choice varies as shown here.
