We regularly provide workshops

Topics include: variant analysis, transcriptomics, metagenomics, epigenetics, and many more!
Service Administration
The maintenance and administration of UseGalaxy.eu is done primarily by the
Freiburg Galaxy Team in collaboration with other academic
groups across Europe and with the US Galaxy team.
We make a best effort to provide high uptime. Please see our status page for more information.
The Freiburg Team tries to maintain a balance between service uptime and
the health of the administrators behind the service.
Sometimes we are able to achieve this, sometimes due to factors outside
our control, our service is temporarily inaccessible.
