Data Driven Reseach for Everyone
Galaxy is an open, web-based platform for accessible, reproducible, and transparent computational biological research.
- Accessible: Users can easily run tools without writing code or using the CLI; all via a user-friendly web interface.
- Reproducible: Galaxy captures all the metadata from an analysis, making it completely reproducible.
- Transparent: Users share and publish analyses via interactive pages that can enhance analyses with user annotations.
- Scalable: Galaxy can run on anything, from a laptop, to large clusters, to the cloud

and also:
- Galaxy HiCExplorer to process, analyse and visualize Hi-C data
Training
We regularly provide workshops
But we cannot always meet capacity, so we've put all of our training materials online. This has become a community project with people from all over the world contributing training materials.
Topics include: variant analysis, transcriptomics, metagenomics, epigenetics, and many more!

The maintenance and administration of UseGalaxy.eu is done primarily by the
Freiburg Galaxy Team, an academic group. We work together with other academic
groups across Europe and with the US Galaxy team.
We make a best effort to provide high uptime.
In the last 30 days we achieved: 
The Freiburg Team tries to maintain a balance between service uptime and
the health of the administrators behind the service.
Sometimes we are able to achieve this, sometimes due to factors outside
our control, our service is temporarily inaccessible.
