#Galaxy sequence analysis install

We are currently rolling out a local Galaxy installing in our bioinformatics core facilty so we can provide NGS results to users via an interface they understand. You can get a reals sense for this on the galaxy developers mailing list.

There is also a big push from bioinformaticians to use Galaxy.

#Galaxy sequence analysis install

I know a half or dozen wet-lab biologists who use Galaxy to do their own NGS analyses because: 1) they don't have to install code, grok UNIX or program 2) they get free storage and compute and 3) they can share their results with supervisors/collaborators, etc. I would even venture to say that the is was the implementation of NGS tools and Cloud images by Galaxy in 2010 that has led to the explosive growth in users of Galaxy over the last 12 months, as evidenced by posts to the Galaxy users mailing list: #bosc2011įarhat's legitimate space considerations (which are also true to some extent for non-Galaxy based workflows), I would say that the answer to your query is a definitive 'yes', Galaxy is a very serious contender for remote and local NGS analyses. from Peter Cock's IMSB twitter feed:ĭo you want to #usegalaxy too? Getting the feeling that Galaxy is the cool kid and everyone wants to be his friend. Your question is very much in the spirit of the times, e.g.
