Linking glycomics repositories with data capture

As in proteomics, the speed of the advances in glycomic discovery is dependent upon the development of a specific bioinformatic knowledgebase that links various forms of glycoanalytical data to repositories of known glycan structures. The UniCarbKB project (www.unicarbkb.org) is a partnership of leading international research groups come together in an effort to develop and provide an informatic framework for the storage of high-quality structural glycan collections including informative meta-data and annotated experimental datasets. UniCarbKB seeks to advance the integration of data capture and management within the glycomics discipline. 165 http://www.beilstein-institut.de/glycobioinf2011/Proceedings/Packer/Packer.pdf Cracking the Sugar Code by Navigating the Glycospace June 27 – July 1, 2011, Potsdam, Germany
