+![This infographic visually addresses and debunks 10 common misconceptions about Galaxy, an open-source platform for data analysis. Each misconception is paired with a rebuttal from diverse members of the Galaxy community, including bioinformaticians, protein scientists, educators, clinicians, and software developers. The misconceptions range from beliefs that Galaxy is only for genome scientists, lacks scalability, or is unsuitable for coders, to doubts about its usability, security, and sustainability. The rebuttals highlight Galaxy's versatility, scalability, ease of use, robust support, and active use in secure settings, research, and industry. The graphic uses numbered circles and icons to represent each misconception and its corresponding reality, emphasizing Galaxy's broad applicability and community-driven strengths.](https://galaxyproject.org/assets/static/journal.pcbi.1013869.g005.ab9d275.571d5ab3ada4422cdb6937e36e60cfbc.PNG)
