Worldwide Glycoscience Informatics Infrastructure: The GlySpace Alliance
Frédérique Lisacek, Michael Tiemeyer, Raja Mazumder, Kiyoko F. Aoki‐Kinoshita
Abstract
The GlySpace Alliance was formed in 2018 among the principal investigators of three major glycoscience portals: Glyco@Expasy, GlyCosmos, and GlyGen, representing Europe, Asia, and the United States, respectively. While each of these portals has its unique user interface, the aim is to provide the same basic data set of glycan-related omics data. These portals will be introduced with the aim to enable users to find their target information in the most efficient manner, in particular, in terms of the chemical structures of glycans and their functions.
