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.

Events
May 22 - May 26GTN Smörgåsbord 2023
We are happy to announce that the next edition of the GTN Smörgåsbord training event will take place on May 22-26, 2023! It will once again be free, online, self-paced, and choose-your-own-adventure style. It will feature all the content of previous editions, plus lots more!
The purpose of this workshop is to gain knowledge on detect (foodborne) pathogens from (direct Nanopore) sequencing data using Galaxy. The workshop will be on February 2nd 2023 as a 1-day hybrid (F2F at FHNW Muttenz, Switzerland and online), free and practical workshop.

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.
Therefore, we request that you acknowledge this service by including the members of the Freiburg Galaxy Team as co-authors if they have made a significant intellectual and/or organizational contribution to the work described (conceptualization, design, data analysis, data interpretation and/or input into drafting, revising or writing any portion of the manuscript).
Individuals who have contributed to the project, but whose contributions do not rise to the level justifying authorship, can be recognized in the acknowledgements section of the manuscript as follows:
