Methods for analyzing next-generation sequencing data XII.Galaxy - Sharing histories and workflows

Galaxy is an integrative data analysis environment run on the web browser which users can use without using Linux command line. The previous article showed an introduction to the Galaxy system and the basic usage of the public Galaxy server “Galaxy Main.” In this article, using the last article’s results, we present the features to share the analysis results (history) with the other users, or ones to apply the analysis procedures (workflow) to the other data. We also show the useful Galaxy’s features such as copying data across histories, or the direct data import from remote servers. We found a compatibility issue on Internet Explorer with the Galaxy system. Thus we recommend using Google Chrome or Firefox to try the procedures we show in this article.
