Bridging Experimental Documentation and Computational Analysis: RSpace & Galaxy

Integrations

Together with the Galaxy Europe team at University of Freiburg we have integrated RSpace and Galaxy to eliminate manual data transfer between research documentation and computational analysis. Researchers can now browse and import files directly from RSpace Gallery into Galaxy workflows, reducing errors and saving time. Available in Galaxy version 25.0, this integration is the first step toward executing Galaxy workflows directly from within RSpace.

RSpace Transitions to Open-Source Chemistry Tools

Open source

RSpace has transitioned to open-source chemistry tools in version 1.108, replacing Marvin with Ketcher for molecule rendering and integrating OpenBabel and Indigo for backend chemistry data management, ensuring full functionality and backward compatibility for users. This change aligns with RSpace's commitment to open-source principles, enabling more flexible development and potential community contributions to chemistry functionality. Users will experience a seamless update with all existing features preserved, including ChemDraw support and existing chemical structure compatibility. The ResearchSpace team is looking forward to expanding chemistry tools, with potential future improvements like advanced chemical calculations, database integrations, and enhanced data export capabilities. Customers can find the new tools active immediately in the latest release, with the team welcoming user feedback and suggestions for future developments.
