by Natalie Whitaker 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Hello Galaxy Community, We are excited to announce the first of our three keynote speakers who will be joining us at the 2023 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2023) in Brisbane, Australia! Our first phenomenal speaker is the Senior Research Manager for the Australasian Wildlife Genomics Group and uses Galaxy to address biodiversity challenges and promote species’ resilience in Australia. See more about the fantastic Dr. Carolyn Hogg below! Dr. Carolyn Hogg Senior Research Manager Australasian Wildlife Genomics Group School of Life and Environmental Sciences University of Sydney [cid:a8aac929-8dde-4588-8989-f26fd1662cc9] “I have been working on the conservation of threatened species for over 25 years, both in Australia and overseas. I am currently the Senior Research Manager for the Australasian Wildlife Genomics Group in the Faculty of Science. I have been working with the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program for the past 10 years, in addition to other species such as orange-bellied parrots, koalas, bilbies, and woylies. Working closely with both my academic and conservation management partners, my vision is to create a conservation legacy for Australia by changing the way we integrate science, management, and policy to proactively promote species’ resilience in the face of a changing world. We are achieving this by developing better tools and technologies to integrate molecular genetics into real-time conservation management decisions.” We are thrilled to showcase Dr. Hogg and her research at GCC2023! Stay tuned for more information on this year’s keynote speakers! Sincerely, The Galaxy Project Find us on Twitter! @galaxyproject<https://twitter.com/galaxyproject>

It enables researchers to build, run, share, and repeat their own complex computational analyses using only a web browser and without having to first learn system administration and command line interfaces. The Galaxy Project is driven by a vibrant community who publish workflows and analyses, wrap new tools, maintain and enhance the source code, provide support, and write documentation and training materials. Galaxy is open-source and freely available, and is deployed in hundreds of organisations, running on everything from laptops to supercomputers to public and private clouds. Over 150 of these platforms are publicly available and can be used with little or no setup. Thousands of tools have been ported to Galaxy and are deployable from the Galaxy Tool Shed. Galaxy was developed to support life science research, but the platform is domain agnostic and is now used in domains as diverse as natural language processing, computational solid geometry, and social science. *#UseGalaxy2023* *Copyright © 2023 Galaxy Australia, All rights reserved.* https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2023/ *Our mailing address is:* Galaxy Australia <https://biocommons.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f01ea91afbbf5ee55ad91…> c/o Australian BioCommons <https://biocommons.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f01ea91afbbf5ee55ad91…> University of Melbourne, Australia

Release of Galaxy 22.05
by Marius van den Beek 23 Aug '22

23 Aug '22

Dear Community, We are pleased to announce the release of Galaxy 22.05. - Developer and admin release announcement <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/22.05_announce.html>. - User release announcement <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/22.05_announce_user.html> . A few release highlights are: The New History is Here After years of effort by the development team and community contributors, the new history is finally here. It's a big improvement over the old history interface, both technically and in terms of user experience, but it might take some getting used to. It has a lot of great new features like: - A quick switcher, letting you switch between recent histories - Easily find dataset inputs - Improved history search interface Check it out now! Storage Dashboard (Beta) Have you ever been over your quota? 250 GB sure goes fast! Now with the new Storage Dashboard you can get a quick overview of ways to help clean up deleted datasets and recover some of that quota allocation. This is a beta version of this interface, let us know if you have any issues. In future versions, it will be expanded to help you understand how your allocation is being used, and which histories and datasets should be cleaned up first. Bulk History Operations The new history allows for improved bulk operations, selecting dozens or hundreds of datasets to retag or change the database key automatically, a process that used to require using collections or doing them one by one. Deferred dataset resolution enables running workflows and tools without importing data into Galaxy first It is now possible to defer dataset resolution for datasets imported via URLs and the "Choose remote files" dialog. This means that the deferred dataset will only be downloaded as it is needed during job execution. Deferred datasets will not count towards your storage quota, as the data is not stored by Galaxy. To enable deferred dataset resolution click on "Settings" in the upload dialog. Workflow Improvements You can now see all invocations of a specific workflow, across all of your histories. This is especially useful if you run a single workflow across multiple datasets, and keep them nicely separated in multiple histories. You can see all of the results in a single centralised location. Additional workflow improvements have been made, e.g. numbering of steps in a workflow. Improvements have been made to the internal representation of the workflow that should make the saved .ga and .gxwf.yml files easier to compare across changes. Workflows can also now be zoomed in and out via scrolling, this interface should be more familiar for anyone who has used Google Maps: Saved Rules Do you use the Rule Based Uploader (RBU)? (If not, learn how today! <https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/galaxy-interfac…>) The RBU now has a very convenient recently used rule listing, sorted by how recently they were used. You can hover over each entry to also list a preview of what steps were done in that RBU invocation. Scratchbook Upgraded The scratchbook has been updated to a new implementation. Now your views of datasets can overlap, you have much more freedom in the size of each window, and you can minimize datasets like minimizing a window to the taskbar in Windows. OpenAPI Docs The Galaxy API is going through an upgrade to FastAPI, which allows us to generate OpenAPI documentation <https://usegalaxy.org/api/docs>. If you're an API consumer, either via BioBlend or via another system, you can use this to see all of the APIs available from Galaxy and try them out live. Release Notes Please see the full release notes <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/22.05_announce.html> for a lot more details and instructions for upgrading your Galaxy installation. Thanks for using Galaxy!
