Abstract
Glycogenes are genes that are related to glycan synthesis, such as glycosyltransferases, sugar nucleotide synthases, sugar nucleotide transporters, sulfotransferases, etc. We have accumulated and curated glycogene data into the GGDB database to allow for glycogene analysis. This chapter introduces the GlycoGene Database (GGDB) which consists of all known glycogenes in human and mouse (Togayachi et al., A database system for glycogenes (GGDB). In: Taniguchi N, Suzuki A, Ito Y, Narimatsu H, Kawasaki T, Hase S (eds) Experimental Glycoscience. Springer, Tokyo, pp 423–425, 2008). GGDB was developed at AIST and has been updated with the latest data and a new user interface utilizing Semantic Web technologies.
