Jupyter and Galaxy: Easing entry barriers into complex data analyses for biomendical researchers

Anton Nekrutenko - Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Penn State

What does it take to convert a heap of sequencing data into a publishable result? First, common tools are employed to reduce primary data to form suitable for further analyses. The subsequent exploratory stage is much more ad hoc and requires the development of custom scipts and pipelines, making it porblematic for biomedical researchers.
