Description
Summary:Microbial research generates vast and complex data from diverse omics technologies, demanding innovative analytical solutions. The microGalaxy community addresses these needs with the Microbiology Lab, a user-friendly platform that integrates 290+ tool suites and 85+ curated workflows for microbial analyses, including taxonomic profiling, assembly, annotation, and functional analysis. Hosted on several public Galaxy servers (microbiology.usegalaxy.org, .eu, .org.au, .fr), it supports workflow creation & customization, sharing, and updates across public and private Galaxy servers, ensuring flexibility and reproducibility. The platform also offers 35+ tutorials, 15+ instructional videos, and structured learning pathways, empowering researchers to conduct advanced analyses. Backed by a community-driven approach, the Microbiology Galaxy Lab ensures up-to-date tools and workflows through testing and semi-automatic updates to meet global research demands. With its focus on rapid workflow prototyping and high-throughput processing, the Microbiology Galaxy Lab provides scalable resources for researchers at all expertise levels.Microbial research generates vast and complex data from diverse omics technologies, demanding innovative analytical solutions.
