Galaxy Bioconductor Community Conference 2025

The Galaxy Bioconductor Community Conference 2025 brings together two major open-source communities in bioinformatics: Galaxy, the web-based platform for accessible data analysis, and Bioconductor, the R-based ecosystem for genomic data analysis. The joint conference covers workflow automation, cloud-based bioinformatics, single-cell analysis, genomics pipelines, interoperability between platforms, and training resources that lower the barrier for biologists without programming expertise to perform sophisticated computational analyses.

The combined conference attracts bioinformaticians, computational biologists, software developers, and life scientists who value open, reproducible, and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) approaches to biological data analysis. It is particularly valuable for community members who want to contribute to or understand the governance of both platforms, and for educators designing bioinformatics training programs, since Galaxy and Bioconductor together cover a remarkably broad range of biological data types and analysis needs.
