The Galaxy and Rgenetics projects are offering a free 2 hour tutorial
for software
developers specifically for genomics software developers developers
planning on attending
this year?s American Society of Human Genetics meeting in San Diego
and interested in ways
of making their work easily accessed by relatively command line averse
biologists in a web
based workbench environment.
See http://ashg2007.g2.bx.psu.edu/ for details and signup.
Galaxy http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/ is an open-source, genomic workbench
framework
supporting reproducible research (eg see the screencast at
http://screencast.g2.bx.psu.edu/MainUseExample.mov ), and supporting
low-impedence
integration with major data and annotation sources including BioMart
and UCSC. A local mac
or linux private server installation takes literally a couple of
minutes (see
http://g2.trac.bx.psu.edu/wiki/HowToInstall) and the Galaxy tool menu
is easily extended ?
any command line executable that takes command line parameters
(including R scripts ? or
Java or even Cobol?anything runnable on the target machine) can be
?wrapped? into a Galaxy
tool by providing a simple XML interface specification (see the
screencast at
http://g2.trac.bx.psu.edu/wiki/AddToolTutorial)
