- Galaxy Integration. Galaxy already integrates with BioMart, and the current (May 2008) development version of Galaxy integrates with the current (May 2008, 1.69 Beta, e.g. "stable") development version of GBrowse. Once this goes to production in both Galaxy and GBrowse, should Galaxy work on integrating with other GMOD components such as Chado or InterMine?
