Phase II: Reaching out to the Participating Investigators
One of the goals of the Consortium for Functional Glycomics is to generate resources for the use of investigators in studying the complex biology that governs the interactions of glycan-binding proteins and their ligands in mediating cell communication.

The following scientific cores need your help and feedback:

Analytical (core C) and Glyco-gene expression (core E)
Major objectives
  • Implement strategic objective for glycomic profiling of glycans and gene expression analysis of pure human and murine cell populations
  • Achieve automated annotation of MALDI and MS/MS data
  • Develop (with Core B) user friendly interfaces access data and integrate data with other CFG data


    • Needed from Participating Investigators
  • Pure human and murine cell populations for glycomics and gene expression analysis
  • Suggestions for and annotation of GlycoGene chip v4


    • Send your suggestions/feedback to either core directors Steve Head and Stuart Haslam or core coordinators James C. Paulson and Anne Dell


    Other suggestions:
    • Synthesis of compounds for mammalian and pathogen glycan arrays library, N-linked and O-linked glycan standards synthesis by Glycan Array Synthesis (Core D)
    • Pathogen Glycans for the pathogen glycan microarray (Core H)
    • KO targets for Mouse Transgenic (Core F)
    • Mentors for KO mice being phenotyped by (Core G)
    • Pure human and murine cell populations for glycomics profiling (Core C)
    • Gene expression analysis (Core E)
    • Annotation of glycan binding protein molecule pages for the CFG database (Core B)
