TOP REVIEWS FROM GENOMIC DATA SCIENCE WITH GALAXY
by DTAug 25, 2017
Highly instructive course on using Galaxy. Gives a very good flavour of the benefits, actual workflows and even a bit of administration in terms of installing your own version or a cloud version.
by GKSep 5, 2018
This was a lot of work and rewarding to complete. The final project was challenging and the forum contributors helped a lot in pointing out good resources or strategies they had used.

Great Course if you are interested in dissecting the genome. Galaxy opens up this invisible world and allows even us little people to explore the world once reserved to only Academia.
by RCJun 11, 2016
Great instructor with clear and thorough understanding of the material. If you don't have any experience with this technology, this course will walk you through it patiently.
