Glycomics research faces two major challenges: the complexity of mass spectrometry data and the need for ever-increasing sensitivity, down to the single-cell level. In this webinar, we will present '''GlycoGenius''', a new open-source software tool that automates glycomics data analysis across ''N''- and ''O''-glycans, glycopeptides (one peptide backbone at the time), and other glycan classes, significantly reducing manual workload while increasing accuracy and throughput. We will also highlight how these computational advances support emerging '''single-cell glycomics workflows''', enabling unprecedented insights into cellular heterogeneity and disease biology.

Glycans are structurally complex biomolecules that are difficult to characterize, leading to unclear structure-to-function relationships. We recently developed GlyContact, an open-source Python package that lets users easily analyze glycan 3D conformations from molecular dynamics simulations and experimental data. This platform reveals how sequence context affects glycan structure, improves AI models for lectin-glycan binding prediction, and enables the prediction of glycan structural parameters from sequence alone.

GlyGen is a knowledgebase integrating and standardizing glycan and glycoprotein data to support glycobiology and biomedical research. In this webinar, recent enhancements and features from v2.8 will be showcased, including a new job status page, a unified cart feature, improved search options, and expanded species support. A brief walkthrough of glycan and protein searches and their corresponding details pages will also be covered.
