"We are thrilled to announce ‘Data science for life scientists: hands-on machine learning for biological data’, will run from 15 – 19 June 2026 at EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), United Kingdom. This course will introduce life scientists to practical data science methods increasingly used in research, with a particular focus on statistics and machine learning, using Python as the language of choice. Participants will learn how to prepare, process, and visualise some key biological datatypes, and gain hands-on experience in training and evaluating machine learning models using publicly available data."

The Galaxy 26.1 release is entering community validation. Become a Galaxy Release Guardian and help exercise user-facing changes across real deployments, workflows, and user environments before publication.

\n

Pick a pull request from the list below, test the change on the Galaxy Test Server, and capture your findings by opening a new issue that references the PR number. Keeping the feedback in a dedicated issue keeps the PR conversation focused on code review. The PR labels are the workflow.

\n

New to release testing? That's exactly who we're looking for. Walk through the change as a regular user would, note anything that breaks or feels off, and file a new issue describing what you observed (with the PR number for context). No prior experience needed. If you get stuck, ask in the Matrix room or join the kickoff meeting below.

\n\n\n

Become a Guardian

\n\n
    \n
  1. Pick a PR from the Needs Validation section below.
    2. \n
  2. Add the label to indicate that validation is underway.
    3. \n
  3. Review the PR description and exercise the user-facing change on the Galaxy Test Server.
    4. \n
  4. Open a new issue describing your findings, reference the PR number, and include screenshots, regressions, deployment notes, and any edge cases you hit.
