GlycReSoft implements algorithms for

  • Generation of Glycan Composition Search Spaces using algebraic rules, the glySpace database network, or from text files
  • Generation of Glycopeptide Sequence Search Spaces using protein sequences in FASTA format or Proteomics search results in PSI mzIdentML format, combined with a glycan search space. This supports N-linked, O-linked, or GAG-linker glycopeptides
  • Deisotoping and charge state deconvolution of glycan and glycopeptide mass spectra
  • Identification and quantification of glycans by MS and glycopeptides by MS/MS

GlycReSoft is able to read LC-MS data in mzML and mzXML format.Though there is currently only a Windows precompiled build, GlycReSoft is platform independent, and is usable from a remote web server, a local desktop computer, or from a terminal.

GlycReSoft is open-source and publicly available. It is made up of several components:
Core Library
Web Application Server
Desktop Application
Deconvolution Library
Glycan Structural Library
Proteomics Library
PSI-HUPO XML Library

Here are glycoproteomics test data sets
