North Carolina State University
Introduction to Galaxy
July 22, 2013

**Instructor: Dave Clements

9:00-4:45
3503 Thomas Hall (The Stephens Room)
North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC**

Registration

Registration was free, and first come, first served. The workshop is open to all members of the NCSU community. However, it is also full.

Audience

Are you a life scientist who needs to do complex analysis on large datasets?

Galaxy is an open, web-based platform for data intensive life science research that enables non-bioinformaticians to create, run, tune, and share their own bioinformatic analyses.

This hands-on workshop will teach participants how to integrate data, and perform simple and complex analysis within Galaxy. It will also cover data visualization and visual analytics, and how to share and reuse your bioinformatic analyses, all from within Galaxy.

No programming or Linux command line experience is required.
