Welcome to the Galaxy wiki

For users

(if you're a biologist who wants to start using Galaxy right now from a web browser)

Galaxy allows you to do analyses you cannot do anywhere else without the need to install or download anything. You can analyze multiple alignments, compare genomic annotations, profile metagenomic samples and much much more... We provide a public Galaxy instance at http://usegalaxy.org where you can do all this with nothing more than a web browser.

Watch

To get an idea on what Galaxy can do take a look at screencasts below (you can also go to http://galaxycast.org). It will be easy to extrapolate from there...

Use

• Go to the public Galaxy "instance" and start working
• Watch even more screencasts for an overview or tutorial on specific analysis tasks
• Understand tools for working with genomic coordinates / annotations in Galaxy
• Instantiate your own Galaxy instance on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

For tool developers and labs

(if you want to run your own Galaxy or add tools )

Galaxy is an easy-to-use, open-source, scalable framework for tool and data integration. Tool developers, stop wasting time writing interfaces and get your tools used by biologists! Labs, installing your own local instance of Galaxy is easy, and allows you to use your own dedicated computational resources and custom tools.
