[Gmod-help] GMOD and Galaxy

[Dave Clements, GMOD Help Desk]

Hi Rashad,

GBrowse is currently the only other GMOD component that Galaxy talks
to.  There has been discussion in the past about getting it work with
Chado as well, but there hasn't yet been sufficient interest to
justify that work.  I'm forwarding this e-mail to the Galaxy-user list
in case I'm wrong about that.

Documentation on how to get Galaxy and GBrowse to talk with one another is at:
  http://gmod.org/wiki/GBrowse_Configuration_HOWTO#Track_Sharing_Options

There may be more doc at the Galaxy web site.

Please let me know if this does not answer your questions.

Regards,

Dave C.
GMOD Help Desk
