> A microbiome is the community of microorganisms that can usually be found living together in any given habitat. Microbiome research has grown substantially over the past decade in terms of the range of biomes sampled, identified taxa, and the volume...

Once you are oriented, you can try adapting the workflows used in the tutorials, or you can create or extract your own. This is a good tutorial to learn about Galaxy in general plus workflows.
