Well, not that kind of galaxy (though visualizing those are quite nice), this kind of Galaxy. Galaxy is an excellent tool to analyze, reproduce and share genomics data and the Galaxy folks are always updating, improving and adding features to the tool. We have a tutorial for Galaxy to help you get started using this tool. As you [...]
BioStar is a site for asking, answering and discussing bioinformatics questions. We are members of thecommunity and find it very useful. Often questions and answers arise at BioStar that are germane to our readers (end users of genomics resources). Every Thursday we will be highlighting one of those questions and answers here in this thread. You [...]

Just over a week ago, Neil Saunders wrote a post I agreed with: Real bioinformaticians write code. The post was in response to a tweet conversation that started: Many #biostar questions begin “I am looking for a resource..”. The answer is often that you need to code a solution using the data you have. He’s right, [...]
This week’s tip is a brief introduction to Galaxy Pages. These are special pages that users can create within the Galaxy system to annotate, describe and explain various analyses done using Galaxy. The user has many abilities to link to and embed histories, workflows and datasets along with using text and images and more to [...]
Galaxy started out as a very useful tool to do genomics research that was reproducible and sharable. One of my pet peeves in reading research papers that use genomic analysis or online genomics resources is the materials and methods sections. Often the methods and parameters used are mentioned only in a very cursory manner, if [...]
We’ve introduced Galaxy (http://www.usegalaxy.org) before in the Tip of the Week section, have showed you one thing useful you could do with it, and now we also have a free tutorial and training materials that introduce you to the basic use of the tool. In today’s tip of the week, I’m going to show you [...]
We’ve done two tips of the week on Galaxy so far, one showing you the interface and the other how to convert genome coordinates between assemblies. Galaxy is not a database, but rather a analysis tool that allows you to pull in data from many different sourcs such as UCSC Genome Browser database, Ensembl‘s Biomart [...]
We had a tip last week on converting genome coordinates using Galaxy. This week I’d like to introduce you to the Galaxy interface. This screencast was actually done by one of the developers of Galaxy and is a quick introduction to the interface. We are currently working with Galaxy on a longer introduction to the [...]
Comprehensive tutorials on a set of promoter analysis tools (Melina II, Consensus, MDscan, Gibbs and MEME) enable researchers to quickly and effectively use these invaluable resources. OpenHelix today announced the availability of new tutorial suites on several promoter analysis resources including Melina II, Consensus, MDscan, Gibbs and MEME. The first tutorial of this set is [...]
