1. About Galaxy Australia
RCC provides Galaxy Australia, a freely available hosted service of Galaxy (a Web-based platform for accessible, reproducible, and transparent bioinformatics analysis) that all UQ researchers can access.
Galaxy is focused on the analysis of high-throughput sequencing and genomics data and provides a broad range of bioinformatics tools (e.g. for assembly, alignment, RNA-seq, metagenomics etc.) and ample amount of working storage.
Galaxy Australia is:
- Accessible: Users without programming experience can easily specify parameters and run tools and workflows — all in your browser.
- Reproducible: Galaxy captures information about data processing for every file in a ‘history’ so that any user can repeat and understand a complete computational analysis.
- Transparent: Users can share and publish analyses via the Web and create ‘pages’ — interactive, Web-based documents that describe a complete analysis.
Keen to try Galaxy Australia? It’s simple, just visit Galaxy Australia, register, and start using it.
RCC employs full-time support (see the team below) for helping Galaxy Australia users. Email help@genome.edu.au to arrange a one-on-one discussion about how you can use Galaxy Australia in your research, a seminar or a training session.
QCIF regularly holds training sessions on Galaxy Australia, largely online workshops. Check QCIF’s training webpage for details of upcoming sessions.
