GlySpace Alliance Webinar Series
The GlyGen project organizes public webinars on diverse topics, ranging from bioinformatics databases to new glycomics analysis techniques producing interesting data. Recordings of the talks are released on the GlyGen YouTube channel.
September 16, 2025 - Daniel Bojar
Structure, Function, and Everything in Between: Glyco-AI goes 3D
Daniel Bojar, Ph.D.
Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor), University of Gothenburg, Sweden
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.

July 29, 2025 - Rene Ranzinger
Exploring GlyGen's v2.8 Features
Rene Ranzinger, Ph.D.
Co-Investigator, GlyGen, CCRC, University of Georgia, Athens
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.
