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
