Details

GlyConnect is a comprehensive knowledgebase of glycoproteomics data maintained by the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. It integrates information spanning three key levels of glycobiology: proteins, glycosites (the specific locations where glycans attach to proteins), and glycan structures.

The database provides curated glycoproteomic data from various species, tissues, and disease states, with a particular focus on human glycoproteins. GlyConnect uses the Symbol Nomenclature for Glycans (SNFG) standard for representing glycan structures in a visually consistent way.

Key features of GlyConnect include:

  • Integration of glycoprotein data across multiple species
  • Mapping of glycan structures to specific attachment sites on proteins
  • Association of glycan profiles with diseases and tissues
  • Specialized datasets for important glycoprotein families (e.g., immunoglobulins)
  • Human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) data
  • COVID-19 related glycosylation data
  • O-linked monosaccharide information

GlyConnect serves as a valuable resource for researchers in glycobiology, proteomics, and biomedical sciences by providing a unified view of the complex relationships between proteins and their glycosylation patterns. The database is regularly updated and expanded to include new glycoproteomic data.

Access to GlyConnect is provided through a user-friendly web interface, programmatic access via RESTful and SPARQL APIs, and bulk downloads of specialized datasets.
