GalaxyAfrica 2019 will be 14-15 November, in collaboration with the ASBCB/ISCB Africa conference in Kumasi, Ghana. We will offer Galaxy training for researchers, and training for systems administrators who need to maintain a local installation. This year we are calling for abstracts for three oral presentations that demonstrate the use of Galaxy in your research projects.

21st of November, Online

A dedicated day of collaborative work on the training content and calls with the Galaxy training community. Anyone who would like to contribute, learn how to contribute to the Galaxy Training Material or just catch up with the community is very welcome to join.

Galaxy will be at Plant and Animal Genome XXVII (PAG 2020), in San Diego, California, United States, January 11-15. This includes a hands-on Galaxy Workshop (highlighting the new Excellence in Breeding platform) and many talks and posters featuring Galaxy.

And there will be a GMOD Codefest before PAG and an NCBI Codeathon after PAG.

Galaxy will be at 2020 ABRF meeting, in Palm Springs, California, United States, February 29 through March 3. This includes a full day hands-on Galaxy Workshop about using Galaxy with your single cell and microbiome data. ABRF bills itself as "the annual conference for technology-enabled multidisciplinary research."

Save these dates! The next Galaxy Admin Training will be offered 2-6 March at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.

This week-long hands-on training will feature what you need to know to set up your own production quality Galaxy server. Registration will open later this month.

There are

• 16 upcoming events
• on 4 continents, plus online
• in US, Ghana, France, Australia, UK, Belgium, and Spain.

A general purpose Galaxy server optimized for microbiological genomics applications of interest for public health. Support analysis of Illumina and IonTorrent data. A set of YouTube videos will be released in the beginning of 2020.

Hosts tools for the GOBii project, HTPG project and EiB platform, including genomic selection, marker selection, GWAS, imputation, file conversion, and cluster analysis. CGIAR supports EiB to help modernize breeding programs targeting the developing world for greater impact on food and nutrition security, climate change adaptation and development.

A general purpose genomics server with an emphasis on metagenomics, including FROGS and several Migale developed tools. GeDI maps shotgun metagenomes on reference genomes for estimating microbial ecosystems; and MetaFoldScan scans metagenomes and identifies fold hits associated to a structurally characterized target protein. See the Migale newsletter for more.

Mapping of massive peptide repertoires on whole proteomes and delivering streamlined, systems-level biological interpretation. PepSimili provides a systems-level interpretation of the mechanisms impacted by the cumulative effect of multiple mimicking peptides on protein networks. It shortlists and ranks candidate target proteins derived from Phage Display experiments.

By [Simon Bray](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/hall-of-fame#simonbray). In this tutorial, you will perform docking of ligands into the N-terminus of Hsp90 (heat shock protein 90). The tools used for docking are based on the open-source software [AutoDock Vina](http://vina.scripps.edu/) ([Trott and Olson 2009](https://galaxyproject.github.io/training-material/topics/computational-chemistry/tutorials/cheminformatics/tutorial.html#Trott2009)).
