Research Abstract

This project focused on the development of a web resource to analyze glycans using algorithmic and machine learning tools which glycobiologists could access and utilize easily. During the time of this project, we developed (a) DrawRINGS, a glycan structure drawing and search tool, (b) Glycan Miner, a tool to extract glycan features using machine learning, (c) Glycan Pathway Predictor, a tool to predict N-glycan biosynthesis pathways, (d) Kernel Tool, a tool for classifying different data sets of glycan structures, and (e) Profile PSTMM, a tool of a probabilistic model to extract glycan profiles.
