Ten Common Misconceptions About Galaxy (And Why They’re Wrong!)

We are thrilled to announce that 'Ten Common Misconceptions About Galaxy (And Why They Are Wrong!)' has just been published in PLOS Computational Biology! This paper is the result of passionate discussions, collaborative debates, and a shared commitment to clarifying what Galaxy truly is—and what it can do. Whether you are a longtime Galaxy user or new to the platform, this paper will challenge assumptions and highlight Galaxy's versatility, scalability, and impact across disciplines.
