The Human Glycome Atlas (HGA) Project was launched in April 2023, spearheaded by three Japanese institutes: the Tokai National Higher Education and Research System, the National Institutes of Natural Sciences, and Soka University. This was the first time that a field in the life sciences was adopted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) for a Large-scale Academic Frontiers Promotion Project. This project aims to construct a knowledgebase of human glycans and glycoproteins as a standard for the human glycome. A high-throughput pipeline for comprehensively analyzing 20,000 blood samples in its first five years is planned, at which time an access-controlled version of a human glycomics knowledgebase, called TOHSA, will be released. By the end of the final tenth year, TOHSA will provide a central resource linking human glycan data with other omics data including disease-related information.
人类糖组图谱(HGA)项目于2023年4月启动,由三个日本机构牵头:东海国立高等教育与研究系统、国立自然科学研究所和创价大学。这是文部科学省(MEXT)首次将生命科学领域纳入大规模学术前沿推进项目。该项目旨在构建人类聚糖和糖蛋白知识库,作为人类糖组的标准。计划在前五年建立一个高通量流程,用于全面分析20000份血样,届时将发布一个名为TOHSA的人类糖组学知识库的访问受限版本。到第十年结束时,TOHSA将提供一个核心资源,将人类聚糖数据与包括疾病相关信息在内的其他组学数据联系起来。
