October 21, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET on Zoom
10:00 AM - 10:30 AM ET – Demo on AnVIL
In this Demo, we’ll show you the latest advances for Galaxy in AnVIL. We’ll introduce the new Galaxy architecture leveraging GCP Batch for more scalable interactive analysis, demonstrate how to kick off a Galaxy environment on AnVIL, and tour through the latest features made available by bringing in release 26.1 into AnVIL: clearer workflow monitoring, easier creation of reusable workflows, quick access to favorite and recently used tools, and Galaxy Notebooks for keeping data, results, visualizations, and notes together. Sign up for the demo to see it in action!
10:30 AM - 11:00 AM ET – Q&A
We’ll open up the floor to questions about the demo presented, and will have AnVIL and Terra support on call to answer any questions about AnVIL you might have.

What are AnVIL Demos?
AnVIL Demos are a monthly, virtual meeting where we highlight what you can do on the NHGRI Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space (AnVIL; https://anvilproject.org/), a cloud-based computing platform for genomic data science! AnVIL Demos will start out with a 30-minute demonstration on the platform followed by open time for Q&A and user support.
The demos will highlight a range of topics, from a capability of the platform to a scientific analysis powered by AnVIL. If you’re interested in showcasing how you use AnVIL at a future AnVIL Demos session, reach out to Natalie Kucher (nkucher3 / at / jhu.edu). After the demo, we’ll open up the floor to answer questions about the demo and to answer any general questions you might have about AnVIL.
