In this training, we are going to

1. Deploy your own Galaxy server in a Google Virtual machine

   We start by this because it takes a bit of computer time

2. Compare the procedures for performing a simple file formatting task, either using command lines in the linux environment or using Galaxy

   This will provide also the opportunity to take the control of your Galaxy server deployed in 1.

3. Prepare your Galaxy server for the next day analyses

   Upload references data and sequencing datasets, index genome references for fast read alignments, etc.

4. Review together the operations to stop, start, restart your Galaxy server in your Google virtual machine

By the end of the training session, you should have prepared your Galaxy analysis environment and get it ready to perform subsequent analyses of small RNAseq and RNAseq datasets as described here
