Microbiology Galaxy Lab (MGL) integrates over 315 tool suites and 115 curated workflows to enable FAIR-aligned analysis of microbial omics data across multiple study types.
- Why it matters: Microbial omics data growth has outpaced many researchers’ ability to analyze it, due to complex tools and limited computational resources that hinder discovery.
- What they did: MGL is a free, globally accessible, community-supported platform built on Galaxy, combining user-friendly access with analytical power for metabarcoding, (meta)genomic, (meta)transcriptomic, and (meta)proteomic workflows.
- The result: With 35+ tutorials and learning paths plus support for health, infectious disease, and environmental microbiology use cases, MGL enables collective, reproducible workflow creation, sharing, and updating.
