- To develop tools to Describe, Analyse, Annotate, and Predict Nucleic Acid Structures
- To help develop models for protein-ligand interactions
Goals of the Community
- To build a European network of Galaxy communities
- To extend Galaxy training provision
- To create a Galaxy cloud infrastructure across Europe

- To improve tools and data integration
- To promote FAIR principles in Galaxy
ELIXIR Focus Group
ELIXIR Focus Groups are agile structures that bring interested parties together around a particular topic. Typically, they are used to address emerging areas of interest, and seek to identify a strategy that ELIXIR can follow.
Focus Groups are open to any member of ELIXIR, and to external parties, where useful.
