Welcome to GlyGen Wiki,
The MediaWiki for the GlyGen project. This wiki system provides complementary information to the GlyGen portal and is divided into the following main sections: Help for the GlyGen portal, Help for the GlyGen data repository, Help for the GlyGen web service API, Help for the GlyGen triplestore, Frequently Asked Questions and scientific articles.

  • An initial model of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein was created by Prof. Dr. Robert Woods' group from the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center of the University of Georgia.

GlyGen Portal

The GlyGen portal is the web interface allowing browser based access to the GlyGen data. The portal supports searching for glycans and proteins, display of detailed glycan data and protein data as well as export features to save the data to the local system. The portal also provides access to the other resources of the GlyGen project and digital resources such as posters, presentations and videos.

GlyGen Data Repository

GlyGen use the its unique processing and integration workflow to retrieve and extact data from various resources. After standardization and harmonization, the clean high-quality datasets are made and the process of dataset creation is fully documented in a form of metadata by creating BioCompute Objects.These datasets are further processed to create JSON objects and RDF triples that populate MongoDB docstore and Virtuoso triplestore backend databases respectively. The docstore is used by various GlyGen web services while the triplestore is accessed through the GlyGen SPARQL endpoint.

Frequently Asked Questions

The FAQ section contains a list of questions asked by users regarding using the portal, API and SPARQL endpoint as well as questions related to the data, data integration and quality control.

GlyGen Web Service API

The GlyGen APIs allow programmatic access of the GlyGen data objects for glycans, proteins, and glycoproteins. The GlyGen APIs have been documented using the Swagger framework (https://swagger.io/). Some of these web services are generic and provide searching, listing and detailed record access functionalities for GlyGen data objects, while others are custom designed to respond to specific biological questions or use cases collected from the user community.

GlyGen Triplestore

The GlyGen knowledgebase uses a Virtuoso triplestore to store GlyGen triple data,The GlyGen triplestore content statistics for release-1.5 include:up:Protein,up:Simple_Seqence,up:Gene,up:Enzyme,up:Glycosylation_Annotation,glycan:Saccharide,glycan:Glycosequence, gly:Glycoprotein, gco:Glycosylation_Site
