Galaxy's public server (UseGalaxy.org, Main) can meet many needs, but it is not suitable for everything (see Big Picture/Choices for why) and cannot possibly scale to meet the entire world's needs.
Fortunately the Galaxy Community is helping out by installing Galaxy at their institutions and then making those installations either publicly available or open to their organizations or community.
This page lists such public or semi-public Galaxy servers.

Offers S-MART conversion and MAPHiTS tools. |
"Mapping Analysis Pipeline for High-Throughput Sequences" (MAPHiTS). "The pipeline allows the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and small insertion/deletions (indels) by comparing high-throughput Illumina short-reads (GAIIx or HighSeq) with a reference sequence from the same or a different species. This pipeline is based on public softwares (BWA, Bowtie, SAMtools, VarScan and Tablet) and homemade tools. In particular, we developed tools to filter out short-reads of low quality and to prepare the mapping and SNP calling. We also developed tools to filter out the called SNPs according to genome coverage, allele frequency, pValue, and SNP positions in the read." |
