Evaluation of uses and needs for microbial data analysis in Galaxy - A survey

Hi all, We would like to learnmore about use caseswhere Galaxy was beneficial, and also the barriersthat prevent researchers from using Galaxy. The aim is to collectively find solutions to improve user experience and reduce barriers. To this end, we launch a short survey (open untilApril 20th) to reach out to and learn from the microbial research community: https://forms.gle/q8LizeoHCxjjQp559 We encourage anyone to fill out this survey who: * has used Galaxy for any kind of microbial focused research (e.g. metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, microbiome, bacterial isolates … ), or * conducts microbial research or is planning to do so, but has not yet used Galaxy, or is hindered by certain aspects of Galaxy from using it. You can find more information about this survey and how we plan to use it on the dedicated post here: https://galaxyproject.org/news/2023-03-21-microbial-survey Please feel free to share this survey with anyone around you, or in your communities (I pasted a template email/post below and attached a visual) Thank you for your help supporting better microbial data analysis in Galaxy! Best, Bérénice ---- *Template* Subject: Evaluation of uses and needs for microbial data analysis in Galaxy - A survey Dear <Community>, Galaxy is an open-access, web-based platform for data-intensive computational research. It is used in a variety of domains including microbial data analysis: for microbiome samples or bacterial isolates, long reads or short, shotgun or 16S, genomics, transcriptomics, or proteomics. microGalaxy <https://galaxyproject.org/projects/microbial/#microgalaxy-community>, a community of practice focused on microbial data analysis in Galaxy, would like to learnmore about use caseswhere Galaxy was beneficial, and also the barriersthat prevent researchers from using Galaxy. The aim is to collectively find solutions to improve user experience and reduce barriers. To this end, we launch a short survey (open untilApril 20th) to reach out to and learn from the microbial research community: https://forms.gle/q8LizeoHCxjjQp559 We encourage anyone to fill out this survey who: * has used Galaxy for any kind of microbial focused research (e.g. metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, microbiome, bacterial isolates … ), or * conducts microbial research or is planning to do so, but has not yet used Galaxy, or is hindered by certain aspects of Galaxy from using it.
