Glycan Databases and Bioinformatics Tools — Hands-on

Develop practical skills with the main glycan databases and bioinformatics tools used in modern glycobiology and biopharma. This module focuses on finding, interpreting and exporting curated glycan records and using software utilities for structure search, annotation, visualization and integration with proteomics and other omics datasets.
