Background: To date, the usage of Galaxy, an open-source bioinformatics platform, has been reported primarily in research. We report 5 years' experience (2015 to 2020) with Galaxy in our hospital, as part of the "Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris" (AP-HP), to demonstrate its suitability for high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data analysis in a clinical laboratory setting.
Methods: Our Galaxy instance has been running since July 2015 and is used daily to study inherited diseases, cancer, and microbiology.
Objectives: To share our experience with digital slide telepathology for intraoperative frozen section consultations (IOCs) and to describe its evolution over time by reporting performance metrics and addressing organizational and economic aspects.
Methods: Since 2013, a technician has been alone at the surgical site. At the other site, the pathologist opens the digital slide from a local server via the intranet.
