title: GlycoPattern: a web platform for glycan array mining.
abstract: GlycoPattern is Web-based bioinformatics resource to support the analysis of glycan array data for the Consortium for Functional Glycomics. This resource includes algorithms and tools to discover structural motifs, a heatmap visualization to compare multiple experiments, hierarchical clustering of Glycan Binding Proteins with respect to their binding motifs and a structural search feature on the experimental data.
  
  
  METHODS
  GlycoPattern is freely available on the Web at http://glycopattern.emory.edu with all major browsers supported.
