DESCRIPTION:# Overview\nGalaxy is an open\, web-based platform for accessib
 le\, reproducible\, and transparent computational biomedical research. Gal
 axy gives you access to thousands of tools. For example\, you can run a co
 mplete NGS analysis from fastq files to publication-ready figures using on
 ly your web browser.\n\nThis course will give a general introduction on th
 e galaxy web-page structure\, how to import data\, run tools\, and share a
 nalyses. Participants will run a whole NGS analysis using an RNA-seq datas
 et as an example.\n\n# Audience\nThis course is targeted to any life scien
 tist who wants to learn more about the web-based [Galaxy platform](https:/
 /usegalaxy.eu/)  and would like to discover its potential to analyze NGS d
 ata.\n\n# Learning objectives\nAfter the course\, participants should be a
 ble to use a public Galaxy server for their research and be able to:\n\n* 
 reproduce and share an analysis in Galaxy\n* run tools such as FastQC\, cu
 tadapt\, STAR\n* understand their outputs\n* interpret the biological resu
 lts obtained with Galaxy\n\n# Prerequisites\n##### Knowledge / competencie
 s\nNo command line experience or programming knowledge is required. Howeve
 r\, familiarity with NGS and genomic data is highly recommended.\n\n##### 
 Technical\nThe participants need to come with their Wi-Fi enabled laptop w
 ith Firefox\, Chrome\, or Safari web browser installed. There will be acce
 ss to the eduroam (and guest) networks.\n\n# Application\n\n\nRegistration

 streamed online.\n\nThe course will start at 9:00 CET and end around 17:00
  CET. Precise information will be provided to the participants in due time
