Galaxy Community Hub

Galaxy is heading to ASM BIG 2026 — the ASM Conference on Rapid Applied Microbial NGS and Bioinformatic Pipelines — held October 11–14, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

Invited Talk

Mike Schatz (Johns Hopkins University) will give an invited talk on behalf of the Galaxy community.

Find Galaxy All Week

Members of the Galaxy team will be at the meeting for its full duration with a table where anyone can stop by to chat, ask questions, or just say hi. Topics we’re happy to talk about include:

  • BRC-Analytics — analysis tools and genomic annotations for pathogen, host, and vector data, built on the legacy of VEuPathDb
  • Orbit — Galaxy’s AI research harness that lets you converse about your data, draft and run analysis plans, and route steps to Galaxy
  • User Defined Tools (currently in beta) — write and run your own simple tools directly from the Galaxy interface, no server access or admin installation required. Contact us for access
  • Workflows (IWC) — the Intergalactic Workflow Commission’s library of open, peer-reviewed workflows for reproducible science
  • High Performance Computing — compute provided to usegalaxy.org via Jetstream2 and TACC
  • Reproducible computational biology
  • Free access — Galaxy is free to use for everyone
