Galaxy (computational biology)

Galaxy is an open-source scientific workflow system designed to make research accessible, reproducible, and transparent. Originally developed for computational biology, Galaxy has evolved into a domain-agnostic framework utilized across various scientific disciplines. Some examples include: data science, microbiology, medical research, neuroscience, virology and outbreak detection, food safety, wastewater tracking and antibiotic resistance, long-read and high-throughput genomic sequencing, bioinformatics, and other scientific disciplines.

For many computational biology processes, Galaxy accommodates scientists from newcomers to professionals. It supports code-free workflow development, GUI workflow visualization as well as command-line interface access, scheduled jobs, and cloud infrastructure management. It supports data persistence and data publishing to facilitate collaboration. The freely hosted services of UseGalaxy (United States, EU, and Australia) support a global community of over 500,000 registered users through the Galaxy Hub which holds events, an annual conference, and hundreds of free online tutorials at the Galaxy Training Network.
