Access the UF RC instance of Galaxy.

Getting Help

  • Use the UFRC Support Ticket System to request adding new tools or reference data to the Galaxy and to file problem reports. Note: If you are submitting a problem report the first step should be to share the history that contains a failed step with by using the 'bug' icon in galaxy.
  • When submitting a problem report use bug button in Galaxy to provide us with the information necessary for solving the problem. Click on the "bug" icon in the problematic step in the history and submit the resulting form. This tool automatically shares your history with us, so you don't have to share it separately. Alternatively, you can just share your Galaxy history if necessary.
  • See the Support page for other support options.

User Access

  • All users with UFRC accounts can access and use the UFRC Galaxy instance.

Large Dataset Import

  • Create your Galaxy upload directory as '/data/apps/galaxy/incoming/<your email address in galaxy>' and copy your datasets there. Note, it may take up to 15 minutes for Galaxy to fix the permissions before uploaded files will become available in a list at the bottom of the Galaxy 'Get Data > Upload File' tool. See Transfer Data for more details if transferring files from outside of HiPerGator.
  • Use the 'Upload File' tool and either upload smaller files from your local machine or select files in your galaxy incoming directory by clicking on the checkboxes in front of the file names and click on the 'Execute' button to start the upload.
