title: Functional glycomics and glycobiology: an overview.
abstract: Glycomics is the study of the biological role of glycans and glycoconjugates, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans, and of protein-glycan interactions. This chapter outlines the scope of functional glycomics, from biological/biomedical significance to technology development.
