Nomenclature
Integration of diverse omics data including glycogenes, glycoconjugates (such as glycoproteins and glycolipids), molecular structures, and pathways. This portal site include the development of a new glycoconjugate repository GlyComb, as well as an integrated and curated database under GlyCosmos which provides context for the glycans and glycoconjugates registered in the GlyTouCan and GlyComb repositories, respectively. In addition, this project involve development of standard notations (WURCS) and ontologies (GlycoRDF, Glycoconjugate ontology). By using Sematic Web technologies, GlyCosmos also integrate other -omics databases from the fields of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics.
National Center for Functional Glycomics (NCFG)
The National Center for Functional Glycomics (NCFG) at Emory University School of Medicine, is one of four Glycomics-related Biomedical Technology Resource Centers (BTRC) in the U.S., funded by the National Institutes of Health. Analogous to Genomics and Proteomics, Glycomics focuses on defining the structures and functions of complex carbohydrates, as found in glycoproteins, glycolipids, and glycosaminoglycans. The specific focus of the NCFG is on technology development in the glycosciences with an emphasis on exploring the molecular mechanisms of glycan recognition by proteins important in human biology and disease.
