Galaxy Bioimage Tool Integration
Galaxy is a platform for building, running and sharing reproducible and FAIR image analysis workflows. It enables you to apply state-of-the-art image analysis tools tailored to your own research question without the need of advanced programming skills. Galaxy promotes both open science and collaboration across scientific domains including life sciences.
What is Galaxy and how can you benefit from it?
Galaxy is an open, web-based platform that makes advanced image analysis accessible, reproducible and collaborative. It is characterized by
- Low technical barriers: Galaxy offers web-based analysis with user-friendly graphical interfaces and does not require programming skills
- Support of data and metadata management: Galaxy supports common image formats and structured metadata, persistent storage and uses data libraries for shared data organization.
- High reproducibility: Galaxy records tool versions, input data, analysis steps and parameters for reproducible analysis.
- High transparency: Galaxy allows inspection and sharing of workflows and histories.
- Easy collaboration: Galaxy allows the sharing of datasets, workflows and overall analyses with colleagues or a wider community.
- Scalability: Workflows can be executed on small datasets but also on large studies, making use of high-performance or cloud computing resources, depending on your research needs
- Community formation: Galaxy provides a framework for scientists, image analysts and computational experts across disciplines
How to get started:
- Access the Galaxy imaging website. In case you or your institution have access to services such as Life Science Login, NFDI-AAI, EOSC AAI or EGI-Check In, you can login using those. Alternatively, register to be able to use Galaxy.
- Learn how to use Galaxy for image analysis workflows and explore the hands-on material.
- For an easy start explore and rerun existing imaging workflows before you create you own workflow tailored to your project.
- Contribute to the Galaxy Community to advance this image analysis workflow hub.
- Check how to connect external storage to Galaxy here!
Galaxy offers its own default storage system (250 GB) plus a short term storage (2 TB). However, you can connect personal data storage (e.g. GDrive, S3 Buckets) or repositories (e.g. OMERO, Onedata, IDR, FTP Server, RSpace, Hugging Face Hub).
NFDI4BIOIMAGE Tip: Try to connect an S3 storage (e.g. offered by us) to upgrade your image analysis experience!
Explore the list of available image analysis workflows offered in Galaxy and push your analysis further by creating your own.
