UMSA

Galaxy is a web-based platform designed for running computational and statistical analyses with focus on openness and usage of FAIR data. It originally started in biomedical science but nowadays spans numerous scientific domains including ecology, natural language processing, chemistry, climate science, and social sciences.

There is worldwide network of Galaxy servers providing open access to virtually all academic users consisting of “copies” (instances) of the service. Some major ones are hosted in the United States, EU, and Australia. Besides, numerous specialized services exist.

Many quickstart and advanced tutorials are available on Galaxy Training Network.

Metacentrum currently maintains 3 independent Galaxy servers: usegalaxy.cz, RepeatExplorer, and UMSA.

This Galaxy instance provides tools for Untargeted Mass Spectrometry Analysis and we maintain it for our partners at RECETOX.
