#Galaxy sequence analysis software#
The Galaxy platform provides a user-friendly interface to computational command line–based tools, handles the software dependencies, and provides refined workflows. Importantly, such tools should additionally help democratize bioinformatics analysis by enabling easy access and ease-of-use solutions for researchers. However, the need to explore and manipulate the complex data generated by long-read sequencing platforms necessitates accompanying specialized bioinformatics platforms and tools to process the long-read data correctly. In this respect, the Oxford Nanopore Technologies–based long-read sequencing “nanopore" platform is becoming a widely used tool with a broad range of applications and end-users. As a result, long-read sequencing platforms are becoming more popular. Long-read sequencing can be applied to generate very long contigs and even completely assembled genomes at relatively low cost and with minimal sample preparation. In this paper, de Koning, et al describe “NanoGalaxy", a Galaxy-based toolkit for analysing long-read sequencing data, suitable for diverse applications, including de novo genome assembly from genomic, metagenomic, and plasmid sequence reads.
