How to find tools

Tools installed and availble on the Galaxy server in use

• At the top of the left tool panel, type in a tool name or datatype into the tool search box.
• Shorter keywords find more choices.
• Tools can also be directly browsed by category in the tool panel.

Can't find the tool you want?

• Try searching the Tool Shed.
• New tools are added all the time that can be used in local or cloud Galaxy instances.

• If the tool you want to use is not wrapped yet, it could be.

  • Should you have development resource, wrapped tool contributions are welcome additions to the Tool Shed*
  • Development Resources
• Requests to wrap tools can be made by opening an issue and assigning the tag tool request at the IUC master repository
