<p>Galaxy is a web-based data analysis framework for comparative genomics. It exists in two flavors:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><a class="reference" href="http://g2.bx.psu.edu:9000">Galaxy2</a> - features genomic datasets and allows various operations on genomic coordinates</li>
<li><a class="reference" href="http://galaxy.cse.psu.edu">Galaxy1</a> - the old version that is still maintained but not actively developed</li>
</ul>

<p>Galaxy aims to be a zero configuration entirely self contained system, that provides a lightweight webserver, an embedded database and a multi-threaded job manager. Tools (and their parameters) can be specified via simple XML based configuration files. Galaxy allows you to deploy a wide variety of bioinformatics tools through the web. It renders all HTML widgets the tools need, verifies inputs, and stores and manages the outputs that these tools create.</p>
