Abstract

Using Galaxy via the SURF Research Cloud (SRC) allows researchers to start Galaxy instances on-demand and analyze their data in a secure environment following the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). The instance provides secure authentication, where users must have a SURF Research account prior to this tutorial, have set the SURF Research Access Management (SRAM) authentication method, and connect an SSH key to their accounts. In case you are not familiar with SRC and need help in setting up your accounts, please follow the instructions on the SURF Knowledge Base
