Abstract
GlycomeDB is a glycomics structural metadatabase that integrates glycan structures from most of the publicly available databases into a single glycan structure index by converting the different sequence formats used by the public databases into one concise sequence representation. At the same time species annotation of glycan structures is extracted from the public databases, translated to NCBI taxonomy IDs and stored together with the structures in GlycomeDB. Using the web portal of GlycomeDB, researchers can freely search the glycan structure index and use hyperlinks displayed on the GlycomeDB web pages to find the entries in the public databases and gather all available information about a glycan. This simplifies the search for structures in the glycomics domain since a single search in GlycomeDB allows finding and browsing all entries for a glycan in any of the integrated databases without searching in all databases separately.
