Introduction
Galaxy is an open, web-based platform for accessible, reproducible, and transparent computational life science research. The Norwegian instance at usegalaxy.no is maintained by ELIXIR Norway and provides nearly 2000 bioinformatics tools and pre-made workflows for researchers across industry and academia. All analyses run on shared infrastructure, removing the need for local compute resources.
Key Features
- No-code bioinformatics — run complex analyses through a graphical web interface without programming or command-line skills
- Nearly 2000 tools — covering genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and more
- Pre-built workflows — reusable analysis pipelines that ensure reproducibility across experiments and collaborators
- Reproducible research — every analysis step is tracked with full provenance, making results transparent and shareable
- Collaborative sharing — datasets, workflows, and results can be shared directly with collaborators on the platform
- Scalable compute — analyses run on ELIXIR Norway infrastructure, independent of local hardware limitations
Getting Started
- Academic users: log in via FEIDE if your institution is connected to the NeLS portal
- Industry and international collaborators: apply for a NeLS ID to gain access (extensive industrial use is charged based on CPU hours)
