In addition to showing off the tools and workflow system, this paper includes the first use of the new Galaxy page system to publish an online supplement that fully documents every detail of the analysis and allows direct access to all of the data and methods used. This work has been featured in wired news, genomeweb, and the Chronicle.

The venue was incredible, and DBCLS/OIST were incredibly generous in hosting us for so long in such amazing accommodations…
