Galaxy (http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu) is an open, web-based platform for accessible, reproducible, and transparent computational biomedical research.

  1. Accessible: Users without programming experience can easily specify parameters and run tools and workflows.
  2. Reproducible: Galaxy captures information so that any user can repeat and understand a complete computational analysis.
  3. Transparent: Users share and publish analyses via the web and create Pages, interactive, web-based documents that describe a complete analysis.

CRG local implementation

Very soon will be available to all CRG users a local implementation of Galaxy including bioinformatics tools develloped in the CRG (Gem, T-Coffee and TrimAl for examples) as well as all tools provided by the central Galaxy. In order to protect data, CRG-Galaxy will only be available from the CRG network as describe in the Hardware schema. Data will be stored on the CRG file servers and all computations will run on a cluster of 72 computers.
