This book provides glycoscientists with a handbook of useful
databases that can be applied to glycoscience research. Although
many databases are now publicly available, one of the hurdles for
their users is the learning curve required to effectively utilize
those databases. Therefore, this book not only describes the
existing databases, but also provides tips on how to obtain the
target data. That is, because many databases provide a variety of
data that could be obtained from different perspectives, each
chapter provides users with potential biological questions that
can be answered by a particular database and step-by-step
instructions, with figures, on how to obtain that data.
Troubleshooting tips are also provided to aid users encountering
problems that can be predicted when using these databases.
Moreover, contact information for each database is provided in
case unexpected issues arise.
