Galaxy is a mature, browser accessible workbench for scientific computing. It enables scientists to share, analyze and visualize their own data, with minimal technical impediments. A thriving global community continues use, maintain contribute the project, support from multiple national infrastructure providers that enable freely analysis training services. The Training Network supports free, self-directed, virtual >230 integrated tutorials. Project engagement metrics have continued grow...
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...
In the face of rising global demand and unsustainable production methods, cultivated crustacean meat (CCM) is proposed as an alternative means to produce delicious lobster, shrimp, crab products. Cultivated requires starting stem cells that may vary in terms potency propensity proliferate or differentiate into myogenic (muscle-related) tissues. Recognizing regenerating limbs are a non-lethal source tissue harbor relevant cells, we selected those crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus our model. To...
Sexual development involves the successive and overlapping processes of sex determination, sexual differentiation, ultimately maturation, enabling animals to reproduce. This provides a mechanism for enriched genetic variation which enables populations withstand ever-changing environments, selecting adapted individuals driving speciation. The molecular mechanisms display bewildering diversity, even in closely related taxa. Many determination across include key family “doublesex- male...
Abstract Transcriptome sequencing has opened the field of genomics to a wide variety researchers, owing its efficiency, applicability across species and ability quantify gene expression. The resulting datasets are rich source information that can be mined for many years into future, with each dataset providing unique angle on specific context in biology. Maintaining accessibility this accumulation data presents quite challenge researchers. primary focus conventional databases is storage,...
The Crustacea are an evolutionarily diverse taxon which underpins marine food webs and contributes significantly to the global economy. However, our knowledge of crustacean endocrinology development is far behind that terrestrial arthropods. Here we present a unique insight into molecular pathways coordinating metamorphosis, by reconciling nuclear receptor (NR) gene activity from 12-stage, 3-replicate transcriptome in ornate spiny lobster (Panulirus ornatus) during larval development.We...
Receptor avidity through multivalency is a highly sought-after property of ligands. While readily available in nature the form bivalent antibodies, this remains challenging to engineer synthetic molecules. The discovery several venom peptides containing two homologous and independently folded domains (in tandem repeat arrangement) has provided unique opportunity better understand underpinning design multimeric biomolecules, as well how naturally occurring multivalent ligands can be...

Cultivated requires starting stem cells that may vary in terms potency, propensity proliferate or differentiate into myogenic (muscle-related) tissues. We suggest regenerating limbs harbor a range suitable for present humane tissue source because they can be accessed non-lethally. To investigate cell...
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....
Abstract Background Transcriptomes present a rich, multi-dimensional subset of genomics data. They provide broad insights into genetic sequence, and more significantly gene expression, across biological samples. This technology is frequently employed for describing the response to experimental conditions has created vast libraries datasets which shed light on function different tissues, diseases, diets developmental stages in many species. However, public accessibility these data impeded by...
