Good idea Brad :) Now why does a tool search on the public Galaxy instance for GC not suggest this tool? Name: geecee Description: Calculates fractional GC content of nucleic acid sequences Does this mean the description isn't searched? It would seem like a sensible idea to me to include that... Searching for "geecee" works, but unless you're familiar with this EMBOSS tool no-one will think of that.
