Publicly Accessible Galaxy Servers |
The Galaxy Project's public server (usegalaxy.org) can meet many needs, but it is not suitable for everything (see Choices for why). Fortunately the Galaxy Community is helping out by installing Galaxy at their institutions and then making those installations either publicly available or open to their organizations or community. This page lists publicly accessible Galaxy servers. To be included here a server must be accessible to any academic researcher anywhere in the world. Some servers may require logins and enforce quotas.
If you maintain a public instance of Galaxy it is recommended to sign up for the public servers mailing list to receive security fixes with priority.
These servers implement a broad range of tools and and aren't specific to any part of the tree of life, or to any specific type of analysis. These are servers you can use when want to do general genomic analysis.

Domain/Purpose:
- The public, general purpose Galaxy servers of the Pitagora-Galaxy Project. This server is intended for testing and sharing. Heavy analysis should be performed using the project's identical virtual machine (VM) or Amazon Machine Image (AMI).

Comments:
- We are running a website for sharing users' know-how, and distributing a virtual environment where we configured Galaxy with selected workflows and tools. Now, you can perform our analysis workflows on the following three environments.
- Access to the public web site for testing.
- Download the virtual machine to your own PC or server.
- Launch AMI (Amazon machine image) on AWS cloud. Since Pitagora-Galaxy enables us to run the same workflows on any infrastructure and rebuild the environments in any time, we can quickly use Galaxy, and at the same time, ensure the reproducibility of the analyses. In addition, we plan to add a connector for Garuda Desktop, a desktop application platform, for data analyses that cannot be covered only with Galaxy tools.

- Domain/Purpose:
- "An Interactive, Configurable, and Extensible Workflow-Based Platform to Analyze Data Sets from the Chromosome-centric Human Proteome Project"
- Comments:
- The Chromosome-centric Human Proteome Project (C-HPP) aims to map and annotate the entire human proteome by the "chromosome-by-chromosome" strategy. As the C-HPP proceeds, the increasing volume of proteomic data sets presents a challenge for customized and reproducible bioinformatics data analyses for mining biological knowledge. To address this challenge CAPER 2.0 − an interactive, configurable and extensible workflow-based platform is developed for C-HPP data analyses. In addition to the previous visualization functions of track-view and heatmap-view, CAPER 2.0 presents a powerful toolbox for C-HPP data analyses and also integrates a configurable workflow system that supports the view, construction, edit, run, and share of workflows. These features allow users to easily conduct their own C-HPP proteomic data analyses and visualization by CAPER 2.0. CAPER 2.0 now presents four specific workflows for finding missing proteins, mapping peptides to chromosomes for genome annotation, integrating peptides with transcription factor binding sites from ENCODE data sets, and functionally annotating proteins.

- Comments:
- From the GCC2013 poster "Engaging Galaxy in Microbiology" We started on selecting the relevant software in the microbiology area, developing then all the necessary tools to integrate them into the Galaxy ecosystem. In addition to that, we made available several specialized workflows covering major applications such as bacterial resequencing, de novo assembly, scaffolding, bacterial RNA-seq, gene annotation and metagenomics. Orione provides additional capabilities to perform integrative, reproducible and transparent bioinformatic data analysis in microbiology thus expanding the constellation of specialized Galaxy based web servers as Nebula, Cistrome and several others.
