Explains how to switch to Galaxy Labs (subdomains)

Galaxy offers different domain-specific views of its interface. These are sometimes called Galaxy Labs, or Galaxy subsites, or Galaxy subdomains.

This is the same Galaxy, but with a few differences:

  • Different home page, containing information aimed at domain researchers
  • Different tool bar, filtered for most useful tools for that domain
  • You may have to re-login, you do this with the same account as always, and you can access all your existing histories etc from any subsite.

  1. On the top menu bar, on the right, click on the “switch sites” icon, or depending on the version of Galaxy

    switch site button

  2. Select the Lab you want to start using
    • The options will be different per Galaxy instance
