Systems Glycobiology Consortium (SysGlyco)
The aim of the Systems Glycobiology Consortium is to develop an open platform for systems glycobiology research, which entails not only glycosylation (glycan biosynthesis) but also signalling pathways, genetic interactions, etc.
Specifically, the consortium will collect and provide the following:
- A database of comprehensive datasets to contribute to systems analysis
- glycomics, genomics, transcriptomics
- kinetics parameters
- A database of models for simulation of glycan-related metabolic and signaling pathways (linked to major biomodel repositories)
- A repository of software modules for simulation of these models
- An online simulation system (such as GlycoSim) to utilize the above and allow any biologist to perform simulations based on their cellular system, glycogenes, and/or datasets of choice.
