Galaxy Erasmus MC
The homepage of the Erasmus MC 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.
News
Galaxy Newsletter December 2025
From celebrating 20 years of Galaxy to highlighting this year’s releases, training milestones, and research breakthroughs, this final newsletter of 2025 reflects on how far the community has come and looks ahead to what’s next.
The Galaxy 25.1 Release is Live!
Galaxy 25.1 brings a modern card-based history interface with advanced keyboard navigation, powerful Sample Sheets for complex workflow inputs, an enhanced Tool Discovery view with EDAM ontology integration, the new Galaxy Charts visualization framework featuring IGV.js genome browser, a dedicated Recent Exports & Downloads page, visual indicators for short-term storage expiration, secure tool credentials and authentication management, workflow editor search capabilities, a redesigned User Preferences interface, and much more!
Using Claude AI for Literature Searches
LLMs for literature search produce 'interesting' results: It is almost useful
Freiburg Galaxy team recently joined experts in Göttingen for the 1st Open Architecture Workshop to help shape the future technical foundations of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). The team presented their cloud-oriented architecture and shared critical insights from the PLANT DataHUB regarding scalable storage and the "Software as a Service" approach. Read the full report to discover how collaborative efforts and common building blocks, such as ARC RO-crates, are driving the development of a robust and interoperable data ecosystem.

FTP Upload
For large files, FTP upload is also available on this server. Connect to port 23 with the same credentials you use to log into Galaxy. Once uploaded, open the Galaxy file upload menu, and click on the Choose FTP file button to import the files into your history.
As an example, a screenshot of the configuration settings for FileZilla can be found here.
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!
Our team
This Galaxy is maintained by the Bioinformatics group of the department of Pathology.
