No huge, user-facing changes this time, but some nice UI improvements and cleanups including better structured History/Datasets actions and User menus.

Demonstrates analysis of differential gene expression, GO/KEGG analysis & visualization of results in much greater detail.

For everyone interested in #usegalaxy who has missed #GCC2019: https://galaxyproject.eu/posts/2019/08/06/gcc/ wraps-up what happened during the meeting.

Die 11 deutschen #Exzellenzuniversitäten stehen fest

Core part of #GCC2019 ended yesterday - CoFest still ongoing today and tomorrow.
Some numbers on the core meeting:
- 231 participants (new #usegalaxy record)
- 65 talks
- 39 training sessions
Slides and recordings of most events will be made available, but may still take a while.

personal take home message from the #GCC2019 admin training: #ansible is such a great tool. Think of all the time you wasted on installing tools manually before. You can spend so much of that on debugging ansible roles and playbooks now ;)

#GCC2019 day1 summary - a full-day thorough introduction to Galaxy #usegalaxy for users, a *very* intense Galaxy Admins training, and an impressive #streetscience performance sequencing yeast from a beer sample using a #nanopore flowcell and analyzing the data using Galaxy

Galaxy Community Conference #GCC2019 starting today in Freiburg, Germany!

in preparation for #GCC2019 #usegalaxy EU at https://usegalaxy.eu has been upgraded today to Galaxy release 19.05.
This is the version that will be used during GCC so workshop hosts should check that their intended tools, workflows, etc. are running as expected.

#usegalaxy #GCC2019 deadlines this week and next week:
- Advance registration ends this Friday 7 June
- Poster and demo abstract submission ends on Monday 10 June
