SARS-Coronavirus-2 glycobiology
Channel: SIB - Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
Date: 2020-05-04

This short webinar explains — and demonstrates — the use of GlyConnect (https://glyconnect.expasy.org), the main glycoinformatics database hosted at SIB. It contains information on glycoproteins and their associated glycans. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was shown to be heavily glycosylated and as data is released, it is included in GlyConnect to highlight the latest knowledge on coronavirus glycobiology. This information can be browsed and visualised with dedicated tools such as GlyConnect-Compozitor (https://glyconnect.expasy.org/compozitor/).

The video was recorded live during the course.

Target audience: PhD students, postdocs and other researchers, from any scientific environment (academia, facilities, companies, etc.) interested in COVID-19 data. 

Speaker: Frédérique Lisacek, head of the Proteome Informatics Group and glycoinformatician.
