A new release including more literature based glycan data with extended annotation is integrated into UniCarbKB (www.unicarbkb.org) with a new user interface and functionality. UniProtKB now direclty links to UniCarbKB. GlycoSuiteDB will remain in the present form until August 2013, when the final substitution to UniCarbKB will be completed.

The Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics is pleased to announce the re-launch of GlycoSuiteDB, a product of Tyrian Diagnostics Ltd (formerly Proteome Systems Ltd). Thanks to this collaboration the glycan database is available in open access on the ExPASy website. The content of the database was transcribed as is. It will soon evolve through collaborative work with glycobiologists including Prof. N. Packer who initiated the GlycoSuiteDB project.

GlycoSuiteDB is a curated and annotated glycan database. Release 8.0 contains 9436 entries, sourced from 864 references. Click here for more details.
