What Are The Top 10 Ways That You Find Galaxy Most Useful For Whole Genome Sequencing Analysis?

I'm very new to Galaxy and have read/watched MANY Galaxy tutorials but I have some questions for other users out there:

What are the top 10 ways that you find Galaxy most useful for your analysis, especially to those who work with whole genome sequencing data?

Thanks for your help and insight, in advance!

Thanks Pierre! I saw this post but I'm looking for more specifics. What bioinformitics analysis tools in Galaxy do you like? and what kinds of research do you use them for?

In no particular order I (and the facility I work in) find it useful because:

  • Data can be shared (via shared libraries) with the users of the facility allowing them to perform analyses on their own data (sense of ownership)
  • Convert command line scripts/software into easy to use Galaxy tools (for less bioinformatically skilled users to use)
  • Able to clearly see the steps involved in a data analysis pipeline
  • Once a useful pipeline has been developed it can be extracted as a reusable workflow

Even as a bioinformatician I find GALAXY a useful streamlined way to run quick analyses.

Thanks for your reply Ian! Could you tell me a little more specifically which of the analysis tools you like in Galaxy?
