The Galaxy web application is designed to help two communities that rarely talk to each other, experimental biologists who have little time or knowledge to invest in developing algorithms and computer programs, and computational biologists who develop algorithms, but do not provide interfaces. Galaxy is written mostly in Python.

Revised Text

Galaxy is "an open, web-based platform for performing accessible, reproducible, and transparent genomic science."<ref>Template:Cite pmid</ref> Galaxy is a scientific workflow system that aims to make computational biology accessible to research scientists that do not have computer programming experience. Although it was initially developed for genomics research, it is largely domain agnostic and is now used a general bioinformatics workflow management system.<ref>http://galaxyproject.org/wiki/Public%20Galaxy%20Servers</ref>

Galaxy is available:

1. As a free public web server,<ref>http://usegalaxy.org/</ref> supported by the Galaxy Project.<ref>http://galaxyproject.org/</ref>. This server includes many bioinformatics tools that are widely useful in many areas of genomics research. Users can create logins, and save histories, workflows, and datasets on the server. These saved items can also be shared with others.
2. As Open-source software that can be downloaded, installed and customized to address specific needs.<ref>http://getgalaxy.org/</ref>
3. Public web servers hosted by other organizations.<ref>http://galaxyproject.org/wiki/Public%20Galaxy%20Servers</ref> Several organizations with their own Galaxy installation have also opted to make those servers available to others.
