Bioinformatics resources for glycomics are very poor as compared with those for genomics and proteomics. The complexity of carbohydrate sequences makes it difficult to define a common language to represent them, and the development of bioinformatics tools for glycomics has not progressed. In this study, we developed a carbohydrate sequence markup language (CabosML), an XML description of carbohydrate structures.
The language definition (XML Schema) and an experimental database of carbohydrate structures using an XML database management system are available at http://www.phoenix.hydra.mki.co.jp/CabosDemo.html
与基因组学和蛋白质组学的生物信息学资源相比,糖组学的生物信息学资源非常匮乏。碳水化合物序列的复杂性使得难以定义一种通用语言来表示它们,并且糖组学生物信息学工具的开发尚未取得进展。在本研究中,我们开发了一种碳水化合物序列标记语言(CabosML),即碳水化合物结构的XML描述。
语言定义(XML模式)以及使用XML数据库管理系统的碳水化合物结构实验数据库可在http://www.phoenix.hydra.mki.co.jp/CabosDemo.html获取。
