GigaScience aims to revolutionize data dissemination, organization, understanding, and use to facilitate the reproducibility of science. As an online, open-access, and open-data journal, we publish all research objects (open data, tools, workflows, and pipelines) from big data studies from the entire spectrum of life and biomedical sciences. The journal links standard manuscript publication with an extensive database that hosts all associated data, providing data analysis tools and cloud-computing resources.
GigaDB provides a direct link between the published manuscript and the relevant supporting data. Coupled with this we have also built
GigaGalaxy, a Galaxy-based data analysis platform to host computational methods and workflows, maximizing use of the data, tools, and workflows in our papers in a more accessible and reproducible environment.
GMOD 2016
The
GMOD 2016 Community Meeting will be held at Indiana University immediately after GCC2016.
GMOD is a consortium of open-source software projects (including Galaxy) that address common challenges with organizing, visualizing, annotating, and analyzing biological data.
GMOD meetings are a mix of user and developer presentations. They’re a great place to find out what is happening in the project, what's coming up, and what others are doing.
Registration is still open at $110 for both days. For those who would like to present a talk or poster, the meeting registration form includes a section for submitting the presentation title and abstract.
Galaxy is a part of the GMOD project and there are several presentations at GCC2016 that cover Galaxy integration with other GMOD components, including
Apollo for genome annotation,
JBrowse for genome visualization, and
Chado and Tripal for online biological databases.
