Tools

• DrawRINGS: 2D Java-based glycan structure drawing tool for generating KCF format and/or querying the RINGS database, which current contains the glycan structures from Glycome-DB and an internally curated data set from the literature.

• Glycan Miner Tool: implemented based on Hashimoto et al., 2008 for mining alpha-closed frequent subtrees from a set of glycan structures
• Glycan Pathway Predictor (GPP) Tool: implemented based on Krambeck et al., 2005, which was later improved in Krambeck et al., 2009, for dynamically computing the N-glycan biosynthesis pathway from a given glycan structure
• Profile PSTMM Tool : implemented based on Aoki-Kinoshita et al., 2006, generate glycan profiles from glycan structure data which can be entered together with binding affinity data, for example, for a particular biological sample
