Contributing to the Galaxy Training Material

Galaxy is a great solution to train the bioinformatics concepts: numerous bioinformatics tools are available (more than 7,000 in the ToolShed), it can be used by people without any computer science skills, it trains to use technology, outlining available resources and efforts that have made them accessible to researchers, it is scalable.
In 2016, the Galaxy Training Network decided to set up a new infrastructure for delivering easily Galaxy related training material. The idea was to develop something open and online based on a community effort, as always in Galaxy.

Advanced GTN Materials writing

Tutorials showing you how to use some advanced GTN features in your training materials.

Contributing through GitHub

How to collaborate with the GTN

Analyses using GTN data

Over the years publications about the GTN and GTN communities have been published, and used GTN (meta)data to do it. These tutorials will show you how to leverage some of the data already contained within the GTN, but beware, they generally require programming skills!
