Community-curated list of software packages and data resources for Glycoscience Contributions welcome.

This collection is inspired by awesome-single-cell.

Recommended label lists my favorites -- they only reflect my personal reference and are not rigorously evaluated. Contact me if you would like other software to be added!

Contents

Software packages

  • Glycowork - [python] - Glycowork is a Python package specifically designed to simplify glycan sequence processing and analysis.
  • CandyCrunch - [python] - CandyCrunch is a package for predicting glycan structure from LC-MS/MS data. It contains the CandyCrunch model, along with the rest of the inference pipeline and downstream spectrum processing tools.
  • GlycoSHIELD - [python] - GlycoSHIELD is a simple MD pipeline to generate realistic glycoprotein models.
  • GlyCONFORMER - [python] - Code to generate N-glycan conformer strings based on torsion angle values.
  • Glycosylator - [python] - A versatile Python framework for the rapid modeling of glycans.
  • Re-Glyco - [python] - The Python software re-glycosylates protein structures using MD simulation results from the glycoshape database. It takes alphafold protein structures as input and outputs modified structures with glycans added at appropriate sites. online demo

Web portals and databases

  • GlyCosmos - [webportal] - A web portal aiming to integrate glycosciences with the life sciences. It consists of Standards, Repositories, and Data Resources, providing information about genes, proteins, lipids, pathways, and diseases. Recommended
  • GlyGen - [webportal] -A data integration and dissemination project for carbohydrate and glycoconjugate-related data. GlyGen retrieves information from multiple international data sources and integrates and harmonizes this data.Recommended
  • Glyco3D - [webportal] - Glyco3D is a portal of databases covering the three-dimensional features of monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides (Conformations and NMR spectra), polysaccharides, glycosyltransferases, lectins, monoclonal antibodies against carbohydrates, and glycosaminoglycan binding proteins.
  • GlycoCoO - [database] - Glycoconjugate Ontology (GlycoCoO) is a standard ontology for glycoconjugate data (glycoprotein/glycolipid structures, publication information, biological source information, experimental data).
  • GlycoRDF - [database] - GlycoRDF is a standard representation for storing Glycomics data (glycan structures, publication information, biological source information, experimental data) in RDF.
  • GlycoShape - [webportal/database] - GlycoShape is an OA database of glycans 3D structural data and information that can be downloaded or used with Re-Glyco to rebuild glycoproteins from the RCSB PDB or EMBL-EBI AlphaFold repositories.

Interactive visualization and analysis

  • GlyConnect Compozitor - [webserver] -Visualises glycan compositions as a network of relations of shared monosaccharides Outputs interactive graphs summarising information searched in the GlyConnect database.
