MIRAGE recommendations

As an platform for discussing and advancing glycomics, MIRAGE is paving the way for a number of related projects that include the development of software tools and repositories as well as the suppport of the use of an agreed nomenclature for the graphical representation of glycan structures.

In order to promote these achievements, the MIRAGE Commission recommends the community to refer to these projects when glycan data are published and/or deposited.

GlyTouCan

GlyTouCan is the international glycan structure repository, developed and maintained at the Department of Bioinformatics, Faculty of Engineering, Soka University, Japan under the leadership of Prof. Kiyoko Aoki-Kinoshita.

GlyTouCan is a freely available, uncurated registry for glycan structures that assigns globally unique accession numbers to any glycan independent of the level of information provided by the experimental method used to identify the structure(s).
