1 Practical on Galaxy

1.1 Galaxy Connection

Galaxy is a web interface designed to give access to bioinformatics tools with a graphical interface instead of the command line.

Its purpose is to facilitate the utilisation of bioinformatics software by non-expert in computational biology.

For this course, we will use the Galaxy instance hosted on Institut Pasteur servers.

If you have no account on Galaxy Pasteur, you need to create one.
