Recently developed computational tools and database for glycobiology
| Tool | URL | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GlyTouCan | https://glytoucan.org/ | A comprehensive glycan structure repository |
| GlyGen | https://glygen.org/ | A project for carbohydrate and glycoconjugate related data integration and dissemination, to retrieve information from various data sources, to integrate and harmonize this data through a user-friendly Web interface |
| UniCarbKB | http://www.unicarbkb.org/ | A knowledge base with curated glycoconjugate information and their annotations |
| UniCarb-DB | https://unicarb-db.expasy.org/ | A database with the structural and experimental MS-glycomic data |
| Glynsight | https://glycoproteome.expasy.org/glynsight/ | A comparison tool that visualizes and interactively compares glycoprofiles uploaded by users. Initially, the tool was created specifically for IgG N-glycan profiles, but it can be extended to any data profiling N- or O-linked glycans |
| EpitopeXtractor | https://glycoproteome.expasy.org/epextractor/ | A collection of glyco-epitopes from four sources. EpitopeXtractor helps you (1) extract all the epitopes contained in one or more glycan structures from a glycomic sample and (2) map the results in Glycdin' our epitope network viewer |
| GlyCreSoft | https://mobiusklein.github.io/glycresoft/docs/_build/html/ | A glycan composition assigning tools for LC–MS and LC–MS/MS data that uses information on the biosynthetic network relationships among glycans |
| Glypy | https://github.com/mobiusklein/glypy | A well-documented glycan analysis and glycoinformatics library for Python |
