Workshop 1 – Getting Tools into Galaxy

Description

Abstract
Galaxy stands as a well-established global workflow platform, widely utilised by researchers worldwide, resulting in over 12,000 peer-reviewed publications. A key principle of Galaxy is the provision of diverse tools for data processing. This workshop aims to demonstrate a clear
and straightforward process for incorporating tools into Galaxy, enabling attendees to integrate their own tools. As a result, researchers can access an expanded array of analytical options within the Galaxy framework and tool developers get citations and exposure of their tools.

Intended audience
Bioinformaticians, computer scientists, researchers interested in participating in the development and maintenance of bioinformatics tools will benefit from this workshop. A basic knowledge of Galaxy (https://usegalaxy.org.au/) is recommended.

Materials
The workshop will use material from the Galaxy Training Network, focusing on Tool development and integration into Galaxy:
