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?

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.

Directory of Special Interest Groups


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
