Galaxy Freiburg
The homepage of the Freiburg Galaxy community
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.

Our services
The Freiburg Galaxy Team is offering several services to enable reproducible and accessible research for everyone:
Training
We regularly provide workshops.
But we cannot always meet capacity, so we've put all of our training materials online. This has become a community project with people from all over the world contributing training materials.
Topics include: variant analysis, transcriptomics, metagenomics, epigenetics, and many more!
Acknowledgements
We are aiming to maintain high competency and provide high-quality data analysis services to all our Galaxy users.
