Description
 
The 2011 Galaxy conference will feature two full days of presentations and discussion on extending Galaxy to use new tools and data sources, deploying Galaxy at your organization, and best practices for using Galaxy to further your own and your community’s research.

Galaxy is an open, web-based platform for accessible, reproducible, and transparent computational biomedical research.
* Accessibility: Galaxy enables users without programming experience to easily specify parameters and run tools and workflows.
* Reproducibility: Galaxy captures all information necessary so that any user can repeat and understand a complete computational analysis.
* Transparency: Galaxy enables users to share and publish analyses via the web and create Pages--interactive, web-based documents that describe a complete analysis.

This event aims to engage a broader community of developers, data producers, tool creators, and core facility and other research hub staff to become an active part of the Galaxy community. We’ll cover defining resources in the Galaxy framework, increasing their visibility and making them easier to use and integrate with other resources, how to extend Galaxy to use custom data sources and custom tools, and best practices for using Galaxy in your organization.

Galaxy is open source for all organizations. The public Galaxy service (http://usegalaxy.org) makes analysis tools, genomic data, tutorial demonstrations, persistent workspaces, and publication services available to any scientist that has access to the Internet. Local Galaxy servers can be set up by downloading the Galaxy application and customizing it to meet particular needs.
