Hi,

I'd like to consider local install (linux) of Galaxy (pre-built binary or build from source). I was warned that analysis using Galaxy requires huge amount of memory (tens-Gb or even hundreds). I'm sure it's problem dependent though. For now I intend to do analysis vis-a-vis an archaeal genome, which is not too large. Is that practical to try to approach the problem on a recently purchased Quad-core computer with 8Gb memory or should I stick with the public implementation?

I'd appreciate your advice.

Hi Ramon,

The Galaxy Project does not track local installs directly.  We don't even keep track of the number of times it is downloaded.

However, you can get an approximate feel for how widely used it is in a couple of other ways:
We will be updating most of our statistics at the end of this month.  We'll also be back-curating the new citeulike tags back to the beginning of 2013.

Hope this helps.

Hello all –

 

I would like to evaluate Galaxy for integration with Ingenuity’s NGS analytics platform, and am trying to pull together some macro materials on how Galaxy has been used and adopted by the community at large. Are there any presentations or wiki pages that summarize basic stuff like:

 

# users

# of deployments/ instances (public or private)

Relative use of CloudMan vs locally deployed

Use in any clinical or regulated environments (e.g. CLIA)

 

I’ve seen the materials at http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Galaxy%20Project/Statistics but this looks to be only related to the public instance. Are there any similar materials that summarize across all installations, perhaps based on user surveys or the like?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Ramon
