What is Galaxy?
Galaxy is a scientific workflow, data integration, and data and analysis persistence and publishing platform that aims to make computational biology accessible to research scientists that do not have computer programming or systems administration experience.
How do I access Galaxy?
Access to Beocat's local instance of Galaxy is easy. Simply navigate to https://galaxy.beocat.ksu.edu/ and sign in if prompted using the Keycloak login. This will use your Beocat EID and Password to login, you will also be prompted to authenticate against DUO.
