KCaM -- KEGG Carbohydrate Matcher

URL:
http://www.genome.jp/tools/kcam/
What you can do:
Analyze and visualize sequence and structure similarity of carbohydrate sugar chains.
Highlights:
  • Analogously to BLAST, users are thus able to compare glycan structures of interest with glycans from different glycan databases using a variety of tree-alignment options.
  • Users can also retrieve glycan tree structures in KCF format from their local computers for visualization over the web. The tree-matching algorithm provides several options for performing different types of tree-matching procedures on glycans.
  • The actual alignment can be viewed graphically, and the annotation information can also be viewed easily since all this information is linked with KEGG's comprehensive suite of genomic data.
Keywords:
  • glycan
