This learning path aims to teach you the basics of Galaxy and analysis of sequencing data.
You will learn how to use Galaxy for analysis, and will be guided through the most common
first steps of any genome analysis; quality control and a mapping or assembly of your genomic
sequences.

Keywords: beginner

Learning objectives:
