Galaxy is Highly Scalable

Galaxy provides an equivalent of >$2,000,000/year of free computational infrastructure to all biomedical researchers in the US.

Powered by ACCESS-CI, Galaxy accesses resources at TACC, PSC, NCSA, and SDSC to deliver unprecedented scale.

Every new Galaxy user automatically gets 250 GB of permanent storage and 1 TB of scratch space with 8 concurrent job slots.

A Universe of Applications

Scalable Genome Assembly

The Vertebrate Genomes Project has produced near error-free, chromosome-level genomes for 600 assemblies using Galaxy on Jetstream2.

VGP's ultimate goal: generating reproducible reference genomes for approximately 70,000 known living vertebrate species.

"95% of the main discoveries that have driven biotechnology came from studying things that were not model organisms at the time." — Giulio Formenti, Rockefeller University

Global Galaxy Instances

The usegalaxy.* consortium provides free, public Galaxy servers across three continents

usegalaxy.org (USA), usegalaxy.eu (Europe), and usegalaxy.org.au (Australia) form a global network of free, open-access Galaxy servers. Together they provide researchers worldwide with no-cost access to thousands of analysis tools, training resources, and petabytes of storage for reproducible computational biology research.
