The GVL comprises:

• Command line analysis platform - R Studio, iPython
• Galaxy
• Protocols, tutorials and tools
• UCSC genome browser visualisation tool

Galaxy, adapted to run on the Australian Research Cloud (NeCTAR)

• A web-based scalable workflow platform for genomic analysis
• Galaxy’s history system provides a complete analyses record that can be shared. Every history is an analysis workflow, which can be used to reproduce the entire experiment…
• Biologists: Access popular sources of data like the UCSC Table Browser. Run analyses right on the spot using a variety of integrated tools. Your results are never deleted and can be easily shared with others.
• Developers: Galaxy is an easy-to-use, open-source, scalable framework for tool and data integration. Stop wasting time writing interfaces and get your tools used by biologists!

Researcher Resources:

• Protocols describing bioinformatics analysis techniques, possibly using Galaxy or other genomics bioinformatics tools
• Tutorials to demonstrate specific uses of Galaxy tools and workflows. This includes tutorial documentation, (possibly new) tools, and Galaxy sample data and histories
• Tools required for Protocols, Tutorials and general use

Visualisation Tools

• An Australian mirror of the UCSC Genome Browser
• IGV integrated with Galaxy

The GVL team will run Galaxy as a service (USE Galaxy), so you simply register and use it. For those with the know-how, and for those of you who own infrastructure or NeCTAR allocation, the GVL Galaxy is available for Roll-your-own (GET Galaxy) – take it, run it, support it yourself.

GVL is hosted on QRIScloud. You can access it here.
