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
