Data Driven Reseach for Everyone
Galaxy is an open, web-based platform for accessible, reproducible, and transparent computational biological research.
- Accessible: Users can easily run tools without writing code or using the CLI; all via a user-friendly web interface.
- Reproducible: Galaxy captures all the metadata from an analysis, making it completely reproducible.
- Transparent: Users share and publish analyses via interactive pages that can enhance analyses with user annotations.
- Scalable: Galaxy can run on anything, from a laptop, to large clusters, to the cloud

Additional funding of projects and/or provision of material expenses are welcome as well, to help support our growing Galaxy community in Australia.
Downtime Notifications
We want you to feel that usegalaxy.org.au is a reliable service, so we are promising to give you advanced warning (when possible) about upcoming downtimes or any events that might degrade the availability.
- This is a best effort, we will try and give as much warning as we possibly can
- But we cannot make any promise regarding downtime notices as some will be out of our control
- The numbers we provide here are rough estimates
For any planned downtime events:
| Downtime | Advanced Notice |
|---|---|
| <5 minutes | possibly without notice |
| 1 hour | 1 day |
| 1 day | 1 week |
| 1 week | 1 month |
Service Administration
Galaxy Australia is administered by a team of academics from the Universities of Queensland and Melbourne. We work very closely with our colleagues from Galaxy Europe and the U.S. Galaxy Team. Galaxy Australia is a part of the usegalaxy.* ecosystem of shared resources and collaborations.
We make every effort to provide high uptime.
Sometimes we are able to achieve this, sometimes due to factors outside
our control, our service is temporarily inaccessible.
