We have previously designed and implemented a tree-based ontology to represent glycan structures with the aim of searching these structures with a glyco-driven syntax. This resulted in creating the GlySTreeM knowledge-base as a linchpin of the structural matching procedure and we now introduce a query language, called GlycoQL, for the actual implementation of a glycan structure search.
The methodology is described and illustrated with a use-case focused on Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein glycosylation. We show how to enhance site annotation with federated queries involving UniProt and GlyConnect, our glycoprotein database.
我们之前设计并实现了基于树的本体论,旨在使用基于糖基的语法搜索这些结构。这导致创建了 GlySTreeM 知识库,作为结构匹配过程的关键,我们现在引入了一种查询语言,称为 GlycoQL,用于实际执行聚糖结构搜索。
该方法学已被描述,并通过一个专注于严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)刺突蛋白糖基化的用例进行了说明。我们展示了如何通过涉及 UniProt 和 GlyConnect(我们的糖蛋白数据库)的联合查询来增强站点注释。
