GalaxyWorks is a commercial entity which specializes in supporting groups seeking to deploy Galaxy. At this time, we seek to procure professional services from GalaxyWorks to support the deployment and migration of bioinformatics workflows into Galaxy, including base and optional levels of effort across the period of performance.
