Introduction to Galaxy and Galaxy workflows
Don’t like the command line? Use Galaxy.
Workshop Description:
This beginners tutorial will introduce Galaxy’s interface, tool use, histories. Click on these links to learn about Galaxy and available training material. The material covered in this workshop is freely available at this link. Galaxy is an open source, web-based platform for accessible, reproducible, and transparent computational biomedical research. It allows users without programming experience to easily specify parameters and run individual tools as well as larger workflows. It also captures run information so that any user can repeat and understand a complete computational analysis. Finally, it allows users to share and publish analyses via the web.Lead trainer: Steven Morgan
