GlyGen Workshops/Virtual Workshops/Virtual Workshop Feb2024

Introduction:

Welcome to the upcoming series of informative training sessions designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to glycobiology, glycoinformatics, and bioinformatics analysis. Throughout these sessions, we will delve into the fascinating world of glycobiology, exploring its significance, recent advancements, and the pivotal role it plays in various research domains. Additionally, we will navigate the realm of bioinformatics, discussing essential resources like GlyGen and CFDE, and their relationship with other prominent databases such as PubChem, UniProt, and RefSeq.

Each session will be dedicated to unraveling specific aspects of glycobiology, glycoinformatics, and bioinformatics analysis, equipping participants with valuable insights and practical knowledge essential for effective research and exploration in these fields. Join us as we embark on this enlightening journey, beginning with an exploration of glycobiology and glycoinformatics begining on February 8th, 2024.
