Abstract Galaxy (https://galaxyproject.org) is deployed globally, predominantly through free-to-use services, supporting user-driven research that broadens in scope each year. Users are attracted to public services by platform stability, tool and reference dataset diversity, training, support integration, which enables complex, reproducible, shareable data analysis. Applying the principles of user experience design (UXD), has driven improvements accessibility, discoverability...
There is an ongoing explosion of scientific datasets being generated, brought on by recent technological advances in many areas the natural sciences. As a result, life sciences have become increasingly computational nature, and bioinformatics has taken central role research studies. However, basic skills, data analysis, stewardship are still rarely taught science educational programs, resulting skills gap researchers tasked with analysing these big datasets. In order to address this empower...
Abstract Background Hands-on training, whether in bioinformatics or other domains, often requires significant technical resources and knowledge to set up run. Instructors must have access powerful compute infrastructure that can support resource-intensive jobs running efficiently. Often this is achieved using a private server where there no contention for the queue. However, places prerequisite labor barrier instructors, who spend time coordinating deployment management of resources....
Properly and effectively managing reference datasets is an important task for many bioinformatics analyses. Refgenie a asset management system that allows users to easily organize, retrieve share such datasets. Here, we describe the integration of refgenie into Galaxy platform. Server administrators are able configure make use made available on instance. In addition, Data Manager tool has been developed provide graphical interface refgenie's remote retrieval functionality. A large collection...
