GlyTouCan
GlyTouCan is the international glycan structure repository, assigning globally unique and persistent accession numbers to registered glycan structures. It accepts structures ranging in resolution from monosaccharide composition to fully defined structures, providing a freely available, uncurated registry that serves as a common reference for glycan identifiers across glycoscience resources.
