Abstract

Galaxy is a web browser-based data analysis platform that is widely used in biology. Public Galaxy instances allow the analysis of data and interpretation of results without requiring software installation. NanoGalaxy is a public Galaxy instance with tools and workflows for nanopore data analysis. This chapter describes the steps involved in performing genome assembly using short and long reads in NanoGalaxy.
