The Volcano plot tutorial introduced volcano plots and showed how they can be easily generated with the Galaxy Volcano plot tool. This new tutorial shows how you can customise a plot using the R script output from the tool and RStudio in Galaxy. A short video for the tutorial is also available on YouTube, created for the GCC2021 Training week. Happy plotting!

Scaling Up Hands-On Bioinformatics Training with TIAAS – An Open University Perspective

3 July 2025   gtn TIAAS

Back in September 2024, we ran the Open University Bioinformatics Bootcamp—a free, five-day online course introducing students to the core tools and techniques used in single-cell biology. We were genuinely delighted by the level of interest: 120 students signed up, 100 showed up, and around 80 worked through the hands-on tutorials during the week. That’s a fantastic level of engagement, especially for a course that’s entirely optional and doesn’t count towards their degree.

Enhancing Scientific Training: The Galaxy Training Network's Role in the ELIXIR Training Life-Cycle

In the rapidly evolving landscape of data science, continuous learning and skill development are crucial. The Galaxy Training Network (GTN) plays a pivotal role in this educational ecosystem, particularly within the ELIXIR Training Life-Cycle. This blog post explores how the GTN contributes to each phase of the life-cycle and aligns with the SPLASH recommendations, ensuring high-quality training for researchers worldwide.

An Ode to the Galaxy Community and all I learned
