Case studies

Throughout this guide we make use of a series of case studies to illustrate how the modular SOP structure can be applied in practice:

🧬 Bioinformatics QC Procedure

A bioinformatics procedure for assessing the quality of Illumina sequencing reads prior to downstream analysis and reporting.

🧪 Laboratory Procedure

A laboratory procedure detailing the process for preparing Illumina sequencing libraries from DNA.

👩‍🔬 Staff Training Procedure

A procedure for planning, delivering, and documenting staff training activities.

🌌 Galaxy Training Procedure

A procedure for delivering standardized training on the Galaxy platform, covering workflow development, execution, and management.

💻 Code Update & Review Procedure

A procedure outlining best practices for updating bioinformatics pipelines and performing code review.

✅ Verification Procedure

A standard operating procedure for perfoming verification of bioinformatics pipelines prior to rollout.

All of these case studies are loosely based on real procedures used within ISO accredited laboratories.
