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.

Integration of the Dataverse with Galaxy

Galaxy users can now connect to a Dataverse as a repository source, browse and search datasets directly from the Upload dialog, import files into histories and utilize them for scientific analyses.

Introducing the Zip Explorer: Import individual files from ZIP archives

Preview the contents of local or remote ZIP archives, explore rich RO-Crate metadata, and import only the files you need directly from the Galaxy interface.

Secure Your Tools with Galaxy's New Credentials System

Galaxy 25.1 introduces a powerful new credentials system that lets tools securely access external APIs and services with encrypted secret storage and a streamlined user experience.

GPU-accelerated genome mapper Parabricks FQ2BAM is now in Galaxy

NVIDIA Parabricks GPU-accelerated FQ2BAM is now available in Galaxy, bringing FASTQ-to-BAM alignment runtime to just a few minutes for 2.5 GB paired-end human whole-genome datasets. Its runtime is benchmarked against BWA-MEM2 and BWA across five runs and shows that mapping and QC metrics remain essentially identical to CPU-based alignment—while delivering a major speedup for Galaxy workflows.
