Galaxy
Introduction
UF researchers now have access to an instance of Galaxy at the HPC Center - a web-based framework for accessible, reproducible and transparent biological computing. Galaxy has arisen as the most popular framework for providing biological researchers access to the tools they need for the analysis of their data. It helps researchers survive and thrive in the face of ever growing computational and data management demands of the contemporary biology. It also provides the convenience of a robust system of user account handling, data sharing and security. Since most biological research projects now happen in a distributed collaborative environment Galaxy's work history sharing and analytical pipeline building as well as publishing and sharing the results in a convenient and secure manner address the most important issues and allow UF researches to be highly competitive. Other benefits an UF instance of Galaxy are access to high-speed campus Research Network, using large HPC cluster resources for running jobs, transparent user account access and convenient data upload as well as full system and user support by the HPC staff.
