This chapter describes the Glycan Miner Tool, which is available as a part of the Resource for INformatics of Glycomes at Soka Web site. It implements the α-closed frequent subtree algorithm to find significant subtrees from within a data set of glycan structures, or carbohydrate sugar chains. The results are returned in order of p-value, which is computed based on the probability of the reproducibility of the returned structures. There is also a user-friendly manual that allows users to apply glycan array data from the Consortium for Functional Glycomics. Thus, glycobiologists can take the glycan structures that bind to a particular glycan-binding protein, for example, to retrieve the glycan subtrees that are deemed to be important for the binding to occur.
本章介绍了聚糖挖掘工具,该工具可在创价大学网站的糖组信息资源中获取。它实现了α封闭频繁子树算法,以从聚糖结构或碳水化合物糖链的数据集中找到重要的子树。结果按p值顺序返回,p值是根据返回结构的可重复性概率计算得出的。还有一份用户友好的手册,允许用户应用来自功能糖组学协会的聚糖阵列数据。因此,糖生物学家可以获取与特定聚糖结合蛋白结合的聚糖结构,例如,检索被认为对结合发生很重要的聚糖子树。
