Tim, I hope to also look at incorporating QIIME into our local Galaxy instance at the University of Minnesota, but probably won't be able to start for a couple weeks. It would be good to develop that in coordination with others. I just finished incorporating "Mothur" metagenomics suite http://www.mothur.org/ (Dr. Patrick Schloss, Department of Microbiology & Immunology at The University of Michigan) into our Galaxy server at the University of Minnesota. I hope to contribute that to http://community.g2.bx.psu.edu/ after some testing by our researchers. If the Galaxy wrappings for Mothur are of any interest to you, I can send you a copy any time.

Hello all,

Is anyone aware of any existing efforts to port the QIIME sequencing pipeline (http://qiime.sourceforge.net/) to Galaxy? I would like to run QIIME analyses through Galaxy to get better control of intermediate processing steps, but before I start to convert (a subset of) some 90 scripts, I'd first like to make sure this has not been done before by anyone willing to share their work.

So: has anyone converted the QIIME pipeline to Galaxy before, and would they be willing to share their scripts?

Best regards, Tim
