Hi Jeremy! That is good news. I actually emailed Dannon/Nate regarding the hackathon, but not exactly for what you suggested. Still, using myExperiment as an external interface in Galaxy is one of the suggestions! I am aware of the Galaxy-myExperiment integration efforts and would be happy to see it :) Cheers, Kostas On 7 April 2011 17:28, Jeremy Goecks <jeremy.goecks@emory.edu> wrote:

Hi Kostas,

We've worked with the myExperiment folks to develop Galaxy-myExperiment integration. Right now we've got two methods in the workflow controller (lib/galaxy/web/controllers/workflow.py), one which exports workflows to myExperiment and one which imports from myExperiment. Both use myExperiment's RESTful API.

Exporting is exposed in the UI by selecting 'Download/Export' from a workflow's menu. Right now, it successfully exports the workflow to the myExperiment sandbox site; there is an authentication issue that is preventing export to the main myExperiment website, and myExperiment developers are investigating.

Importing is not yet done. As you mentioned off list, the ideal scenario is for myExperiment to have the same look and feel as an external datasource so that users can browse the myExperiment website while within Galaxy. myExperiment folks share this vision as well; they suggested that a custom skin of the myExperiment website, and I think this is still the plan.

We welcome any enhancements/alternatives to this approach that you might have. I'l brief Dannon on this code before he heads over for the Hackathon next week so that y'all can leverage it if needed.

Best, J.

Hi all!

I would like to bring to your attention a project that aims to make Taverna and Galaxy work better together.

This new application is a first step towards making Galaxy and Taverna2 (http://www.taverna.org.uk) more interoperable. It allows for the automatic generation of a Galaxy tool from a Taverna2 workflow. That tool can then be installed as usual in a Galaxy server. It will allow the Taverna workflow to become part of a Galaxy pipeline.

Users do not need to install the generator application themselves. It is available as part of the myExperiment (http://www.myexperiment.org) website. While browsing Taverna2 workflows the user will see an additional link "Download as Galaxy Tool" in the download section of the workflow. The next page provides instructions (and references) as well as an option to download the current workflow as a Galaxy tool.
