Description

Galaxy serves as an open-source, web-based platform specifically designed for handling data-intensive research in the biomedical field. For newcomers to Galaxy, it is advisable to begin with the introductory materials or explore the available help resources. You can also opt to set up your own instance of Galaxy by following the detailed tutorial and selecting from a vast array of tools available in the tool shed. The current Galaxy instance operates on infrastructure generously supplied by the Texas Advanced Computing Center. Furthermore, additional resources are mainly accessible through the Jetstream2 cloud, facilitated by ACCESS and supported by the National Science Foundation. Users can quantify, visualize, and summarize mismatches present in deep sequencing datasets, as well as construct maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees. This platform also supports phylogenomic and evolutionary tree construction using multiple sequences, the merging of matching reads into clusters with the TN-93 method, and the removal of sequences from a reference that are within a specified distance of a cluster. Lastly, researchers can perform maximum-likelihood estimations to ascertain gene essentiality scores, making Galaxy a powerful tool for various applications in genomic research.

Description

Created within the Data Sciences Platform at the Broad Institute, this comprehensive toolkit provides an extensive array of features primarily aimed at variant discovery and genotyping. With its robust processing engine and high-performance computing capabilities, it is equipped to manage projects of any magnitude. The GATK has established itself as the industry benchmark for detecting SNPs and indels in both germline DNA and RNA sequencing data. Its functionalities are now broadening to encompass somatic short variant detection as well as addressing copy number variations (CNV) and structural variations (SV). Besides the core variant callers, the GATK incorporates numerous utilities for executing associated tasks, including the processing and quality assurance of high-throughput sequencing data, and it comes bundled with the well-known Picard toolkit. Originally designed for exome and whole genome data generated via Illumina sequencing technology, these tools are versatile enough to be modified for use with various other technologies and study designs. As research evolves, the adaptability of the GATK ensures it remains relevant in diverse genomic investigations.
