Special Interest Groups (SIG)

Active Galaxy communities are encouraged to participate in (or form) their own SIG, with a focus on specific shared interests. You can learn more in our dedicated tutorial: What's a SIG?

Galaxy Communities Calendar

Check out the upcoming meetings across the communities.

Please note: The Galaxy Community Board introduced this in December 2024, so we are still collecting communities to add to it! Do you not see your community? Follow this FAQ to add it!

Directory of Special Interest Groups

In the following you will find a list of current active Special Interest Groups. If you can't find yourself in this list we always welcome new SIGs. You can read more about the GCB and SIGs or learn how to set up your own.


Communities of Practice

Scientific Field

Climate

The Climate Science workbench is a comprehensive set of analysis tools and consolidated workflow.

Computational Chemistry

Group of computational chemistry tool developers, trainers and users to help connect outreach, user needs, and computationalists.

Ecology

A web platform to get, process, analyze and visualize ecological data.

Genome Annotation

Galaxy as a platform for the annotation of genomes.

Materials Science

A Galaxy workbench with tools and workflows for materials science, including muon spectroscopy.

MicroGalaxy
