Screenshot of Confero platform integrated in Galaxy. Confero platform is a standalone application that can be used via the command line. However, for non-programmatic users and to provide flexibility, Confero platform has been integrated into Galaxy. The window shows three main frames: 1) the first frame on the left contains all Confero tools (also see Additional file 1: Table S1) to import data (DATA IMPORT), manage and export data from Confero (DATA MANAGEMENT AND EXPORT), run GSEA or ORA and manage results (FUNCTIONAL ENRICHMENT ANALYSIS MODULE); 2) the second frame in the middle generally displays the web page with the menu when selecting a tool, and results once the job is done; 3) the third frame on the right contains all the history of actions/results performed during an analysis. This history is saved and the user can investigate the results of the analysis at any time. The user has also the possibility to share the history with other users that have an account in Galaxy.
