Dear Sir/Madam,
I am registered with galaxy http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/. But I recently came across another link as https://galaxy.jgi-psf.org/ . This has some very good applications especially w.r.t to the genome assembly (MIRA, velvet), microbial ecology (Mothur etc) and Stats/Graphing Tools. Overall this links seems much better than the Main galaxy and fulfils the general aspirations of a user. Is this link subscribed JGI and its collaborators OR any one can be a part of it. Is there any version of galaxy server wherein we can have these applications available for public use. Thank you.
Tools like MIRA and Velvet can be extremely demanding to run, so are "dangerous"/expensive to offer on a public Galaxy. I don't know who exactly runs https://galaxy.jgi-psf.org/ and if they intend it to be available for external usage. I wrote the MIRA wrapper for our in house use with viral genomes (small enough not to be a big computational load) and published it on the Galaxy toolshed for others to use too in their own Galaxy servers. It is nice to see it being used on https://galaxy.jgi-psf.org/ and it looks like they have a pretty powerful cluster with big memory machines with 500GB of RAM, which should cope with many MIRA work loads. If you have a local Galaxy at your department/institute then try asking them if they can install this and other tools of interest for you. Regards, Peter
