Glycomics@ExPASy (https://www.expasy.org/glycomics) is the glycomics tab of ExPASy, the server of SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. It was created in 2016 to centralize web-based glycoinformatics resources developed within an international network of glycoscientists. The hosted collection currently includes mainly databases and tools created and maintained at SIB but also links to a range of reference resources popular in the glycomics community. The philosophy of our toolbox is that it should be {glycoscientist AND protein scientist}-friendly with the aim of (1) popularizing the use of bioinformatics in glycobiology and (2) emphasizing the relationship between glycobiology and protein-oriented bioinformatics resources. The scarcity of data bridging these two disciplines led us to design tools as interactive as possible based on database connectivity to facilitate data exploration and support hypothesis building. Glycomics@ExPASy was designed, and is developed, with a long-term vision in close collaboration with glycoscientists to meet as closely as possible the growing needs of the community for glycoinformatics.
Glycomics@ExPASy（https://www.expasy.org/glycomics）是 ExPASy 的糖组学标签，ExPASy 是瑞士生物信息学研究所的服务器。它创建于 2016 年，旨在集中国际糖组学网络内开发的基于网络的糖组学信息资源。目前托管的收藏集主要包括在 SIB 创建和维护的数据库和工具，但也链接到糖组学社区中流行的一系列参考资源。我们的工具集的理念是对（1）糖生物学中的生物信息学普及和（2）强调糖生物学与面向蛋白质的生物信息学资源之间的关系友好，其目标是使（1）糖生物学中的生物信息学普及和（2）强调糖生物学与面向蛋白质的生物信息学资源之间的关系友好。这两个学科之间的数据稀缺促使我们设计尽可能具有交互性的工具，基于数据库连接，以促进数据探索并支持假设构建。Glycomics@ExPASy 是在与糖组学专家密切合作的基础上，以长期的眼光设计和开发的，以尽可能满足社区对糖组学信息学日益增长的需求。
