Galaxy is an open-source platform for FAIR data analysis that enables users to:

  • use tools from various domains (that can be plugged into workflows) through its graphical web interface.
  • run code in interactive environments (RStudio, Jupyter...) along with other tools or workflows.
  • manage data by sharing and publishing results, workflows, and visualizations.
  • ensure reproducibility by capturing the necessary information to repeat and understand data analyses.

The Galaxy Community is actively involved in helping the ecosystem improve and sharing scientific discoveries.

The European Galaxy server

The European Galaxy server UseGalaxy.eu is maintained primarily by the Freiburg Galaxy Team in collaboration with other academic groups across Europe and with the US Galaxy team. Please check our Terms of Service and data retention policy before using the server. We offer thousands of tools, increased quota on temporary basis, and compute infrastructure for trainers through Training Infrastructure as a Service (TIaaS).

Introducing the Zip Explorer: Import individual files from ZIP archives

Preview the contents of local or remote ZIP archives, explore rich RO-Crate metadata, and import only the files you need directly from the Galaxy interface.

GPU-accelerated genome mapper Parabricks FQ2BAM is now in Galaxy

NVIDIA Parabricks GPU-accelerated FQ2BAM is now available in Galaxy, bringing FASTQ-to-BAM alignment runtime to just a few minutes for 2.5 GB paired-end human whole-genome datasets. Its runtime is benchmarked against BWA-MEM2 and BWA across five runs and shows that mapping and QC metrics remain essentially identical to CPU-based alignment—while delivering a major speedup for Galaxy workflows.

Integration of the Hugging Face Hub with Galaxy

Galaxy users can now browse the Hugging Face Hub as a repository source, import models straight into their histories, and feed them into tools. A step-by-step example shows how to pull models from the Hugging Face Hub into Galaxy and then using the existing DocLayout-YOLO tool for document layout segmentation.
