+⚙️ Always evolving:
+
+(A) Tool availability spans 220+ tool suites across various Galaxy servers.
+
+[Heatmap illustrating the availability of microGalaxy tool suites (x-axis) across various Galaxy servers (y-axis), grouped by EDAM topics. Tool suites may appear in multiple clusters, as they can be annotated with several topics. A logarithmic scale is applied for improved visualization.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usegalaxy-eu/galaxy-social/2025-01-07-microgalaxy-preprint/posts/images/2025-01-07-microgalaxy-preprint-supp-figure-3-a.png)
+
+
+(B) Usage trends show increasing adoption of microGalaxy tools over time.
+
+[Scatter plots showing the usability of microGalaxy tool suites over the past five years across all Galaxy main servers, categorized by their EDAM operations. The x-axis represents the total number of tool users, while the y-axis also denotes the total number of tool users (potentially correct this redundancy).](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usegalaxy-eu/galaxy-social/2025-01-07-microgalaxy-preprint/posts/images/2025-01-07-microgalaxy-preprint-supp-figure-3-b.png)
+
+
+(C) The platform has gradually added hundreds of tools since its inception!
+
+[Cumulative number of tools added to Galaxy over time, based on the date of the first commit for each tool suite.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usegalaxy-eu/galaxy-social/2025-01-07-microgalaxy-preprint/posts/images/2025-01-07-microgalaxy-preprint-supp-figure-3-c.png)
+
+The tools and workflows are continuously evolving, driven by community needs.
+
+
+🔧 microGalaxy workflows in action!
+
+65+ ready-to-use workflows streamline complex analyses, from genome reconstruction to multi-omics integration.
+
+Here's how tools are grouped across workflows by EDAM operations:

+
+
+
+
+🔍 How does microGalaxy compare?
+
+We reviewed 44 microbial data analysis platforms, comparing:
+
+    General characteristics (e.g., free/open-source)
+    Accessibility (e.g., user-friendly interfaces, automatable APIs)
+    Supported methods (e.g., taxonomy profiling, MAGs, multi-omics)
+
+📊 See Supplementary Table 1 for full comparisons!
+
+
+
+
+microGalaxy wouldn’t exist without our amazing global community!
+
+From tool developers to educators, this is a testament to the power of collaboration in bioinformatics.
+
+Big thanks to everyone who made this possible! 🙏
+
+#Community #Collaboration
+
+
+
+🌟 Beyond tools, microGalaxy empowers researchers to tackle global challenges like antimicrobial resistance, biodiversity loss, and food security. 🌱🍎
