Galaxy Australia goes warp speed: 6 million jobs, new features and the team goes to GCC2023!
Over 6 million jobs have been submitted and more than 75,000 workflows have been run on Galaxy Australia by researchers, demonstrating the platform's immense value in facilitating research across a range of fields.
It’s not just researchers who’ve been getting busy with Galaxy. Behind the scenes the highly skilled Galaxy Australia team has been improving the user experience, building a new Genome Lab focused on the needs of Australian genome assembly and annotation researchers, and developing new tools for better managing the Galaxy service nationally and internationally.
Team members from Queensland Cyber Infrastructure Foundation (QCIF), Australian BioCommons, University of Queensland, The University of Melbourne and AARNet are also getting ready to join the Galaxy Community Conference from 10 - 16 July in Brisbane to share their knowledge and learn from the community.
Topics that the team will present on include:
Galaxy Australia - soliciting user feedback to improve user experience (Madeline Bassetti, Winnie Mok, Gareth Price)
Galaxy Australia History Mailer (Catherine Bromhead, Thom Cuddihy, Simon Gladman)
Galaxy subdomain development for the Australian genomics community (Anna Syme, Cameron Hyde, Madeline Bassetti, Winnie Mok, Gareth Price)
Enhancing Remote Data Access in Galaxy by Unifying URL Handling and Filesource Capabilities (Nuwan Goonasekera, Uwe Winter)
A process for monitoring tool health on Galaxy Australia (Cameron Hyde, Tom Harrop and Mike Thang)
Powering Galaxy Australia into the Future – AARNet supporting large-scale, collaborative computational science (Olivier Allart)
There’s still time to join the community at GCC to hear about the latest Galaxy developments, learn new skills and share knowledge with the Galaxy community.
Poster abstracts and applications for virtual fellowships close on 2nd June.
