From data to discovery - Galaxy workshop at University of Graz
In-person course
This course introduces scientists to the data analysis platform Galaxy. The course is an intermediate course; there is no requirement of any programming skills.
Welcome to the Comprehensive Galaxy Workshop: From data to discovery - Galaxy workshop at University of Graz
Embark on a deep dive into the world of Galaxy, the leading platform for data-intensive biomedical research. This workshop is designed for researchers, students, and data analysts who wish to harness the full potential of Galaxy in Transcriptomic, Proteomics and Metabolomics.
This comprehensive workshop will increase your proficiency in using Galaxy and enhance your ability to conduct sophisticated analyses in various fields of biological research. Connect with experts and peers, gain practical skills, and take your research capabilities to the next level.
Topics
- Galaxy Introduction and Quality Control
- Transcriptomics
- Proteomics and Metabolomics
Learning Objectives
- To get introduced to Galaxy as data analysis platform and the GTN training material
- To learn how to use use tools and databases in Galaxy
- To be able to run different tools and workflows
Schedule
Please see the Program tab.

Request TIaaS
Training Infrastructure as a Service (TIaaS) is a service that allows you to request space for your course on a server, it helps ensure courses run smoothly by separating your trainee's jobs into a separate queue. Learn more about TIaaS in our tutorial.
The following links will open a (mostly) pre-filled out TIaaS form,
Once you receive a URL from the admins, please set it as a tiaas_link in your event metadata.
