Description

About UseGalaxy Canada

UseGalaxy Canada provides researchers with free access to a high-performance computing network through a simple web interface. It maintains tools, workflows, and reference datasets as requested by the Canadian research community, making the platform an ideal place to perform analyses.

UseGalaxy Canada Features

UseGalaxy Canada closely follows the implementation guidelines of the international UseGalaxy servers, which provide a common core set of tools and reference genomes and are open to anyone.

As such, UseGalaxy Canada aims to provide the same core features as the three main UseGalaxy servers to the Canadian and international research communities. Some of these features include:

  • Thousands of bioinformatics and other domain-specific data analysis and visualization tools
  • Hundreds of frequently used community reference genomes and annotation datasets
  • A workflow system that allows tools to be chained together
  • Sharing of generated content, such as:
    • Data libraries
    • Usage histories
    • Workflows
    • Visualizations
  • Extensive online training

The usegalaxy.* Initiative

There are four large Galaxy servers that make up the usegalaxy.* initiative:

The usegalaxy.* servers aim to provide a global, publicly available bioinformatics resource. They offer a similar look and feel, similar installed tool sets, and similar reference data.

This is made possible through a network of globally distributed data servers and open-source code.

For more information on usegalaxy.*, see the Galaxy Project Community Hub.

The inclusion of additional tools, reference genomes, and annotation data can be requested.
