The list of modules is enormous! To summarize them all in a single blog post is likely impossible and it is recommended that you peruse the site to see how Galaxy can work for your specific needs. The Galaxy project is based on the programming language Python, and the open source format means it is constantly being developed by the user community. The underlying code is publicly available, rather than proprietary, as is the case with Windows or Adobe software.
#Galaxy sequence analysis software
If you are unfamiliar with this term, it means the software that can be edited and improved by the users. The graphical user interface means no knowledge of code is needed. It is a collection of software packages which can be operated via a web browser on a public server. Galaxy is a bioinformatics workflow management system, created by collaboration between Penn State University and Emory University. After the sequencing platform spits out your data, what do you do with it? That’s where Galaxy comes in. Most ‘wet lab’ biologists do not have much computer programming experience, which can make downstream analysis of next generation sequencing results a bit daunting.
