Prometheus is an increasingly popular monitoring solution whereby sites expose a /metrics endpoint, and then a central Prometheus server can scrape it for data which is then plotted or visualised or alerted upon. We at the GTN are now testing out a prometheus endpoint for our completely static site which we’ll use to expose some maybe useful statistics about the GTN that others can then scrape and display in ways that are useful for them.

You can see the current GTN metrics endpoint at /metrics

GTN is now integrated with WorkflowHub

2 September 2025   gtn workflowhub workflows fair

Thanks to a collaborative effort between the teams at Galaxy Training Network (GTN), WorkflowHub, and Australian BioCommons, GTN workflows are now registered automatically with WorkflowHub. The existing set of workflows can be viewed here: GTN on WorkflowHub. For every new tutorial that is added to the GTN, any workflows that it contains will now also be pushed to WorkflowHub.

Quantifying Electrophoresis Gel Bands with QuPath and Galaxy

Gel Electrophoresis is a staple of molecular biology, providing a way to separate DNA, RNA, or proteins by size and charge. While gels are usually interpreted visually, the ability to quantify band intensities offers much richer insights—allowing researchers to estimate product yields, verify PCR amplification, or assess protein purity.

Scaling Up Hands-On Bioinformatics Training with TIAAS – An Open University Perspective

3 July 2025   gtn TIAAS

Back in September 2024, we ran the Open University Bioinformatics Bootcamp—a free, five-day online course introducing students to the core tools and techniques used in single-cell biology. We were genuinely delighted by the level of interest: 120 students signed up, 100 showed up, and around 80 worked through the hands-on tutorials during the week. That’s a fantastic level of engagement, especially for a course that’s entirely optional and doesn’t count towards their degree.

Enhancing Scientific Training: The Galaxy Training Network's Role in the ELIXIR Training Life-Cycle

1 July 2025   gtn

In the rapidly evolving landscape of data science, continuous learning and skill development are crucial. The Galaxy Training Network (GTN) plays a pivotal role in this educational ecosystem, particularly within the ELIXIR Training Life-Cycle. This blog post explores how the GTN contributes to each phase of the life-cycle and aligns with the SPLASH recommendations, ensuring high-quality training for researchers worldwide.
