GLASSGo is an efficient tool for the prediction of sRNA homologs from a single input query. To make the algorithm available to a broader community, we offer a Docker container along with a free-access web service. For non-computer scientists, the web service provides a user-friendly interface. However, capabilities were lacking so far for batch processing, version control, and direct interaction with compatible software applications as a workflow management system can provide.Here we present GLASSGo 1.5.2, an updated version that is fully incorporated into the workflow management system Galaxy. The improved version contains a new feature for extracting the upstream regions, allowing the search for conserved promoter elements. Additionally, it supports the use of accession numbers instead of the outdated GI numbers, which widens the applicability of the tool.GLASSGo is available at https://github.com/lotts/GLASSgo/ under the MIT license and is accompanied by instruction and application data. Furthermore, it can be installed into any Galaxy instance using the Galaxy ToolShed.
