How do I browse the glycome of a particular cell or tissue type?
Glycan profiling experiments performed by the Analytical Glycotechnology Core (C) identify the presence of various N- and O-linked glycans in human and mouse tissues, using mass spectrometry experiments and other analyses. From the Glycan profiling data page, the data are organized into two main categories: tissue and cells. You can further refine your search by choosing a species, tissue or cell type, mouse strain/type (if applicable), glycan type, or name of the Participating Investigator who submitted the samples to Core C. Once you find an experiment of interest, click on the mass spectra icon (as pictured at right) to view the Mass Spectrum Viewer. Each peak corresponds to a glycan structure identified on the surface of the selected cell or tissue type. Major peaks are illustrated with a cartoon representation of the glycan, using the CFG carbohydrate symbol nomenclature. Use the arrows at the top of the viewer to move along the entire spectrum.
