I swear we're *this* close to custom SNFG fridge magnets on demand While we just released v1.10, you can see we're hard at work on the next glycowork version:D

Research in Nature Communications suggests that Atlantic grey seal milk rivals human breast milk in sugar complexity. These findings challenge the previously held assumption that human milk is uniquely complex amongst mammals. go.nature.com/4p2hYRW 🧪

Very excited to see this in its final form! Here's our in-depth exploration of the sequences, dynamics, and functions of grey seal milk oligosaccharides throughout their (brief) lactation period, from a wild colony in Scotland. Full of surprises! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share our work about glycan 3D structure! In a nutshell: a Python package to study how sugars wiggle and structure themselves, the role of their composition, and how this enables relationships with protein partners. And there's AI stuff too! @dbojar.bsky.social @romanjoeres.bsky.social

2) Universal Input lets you use new formats: e.g., GlyTouCan IDs, common names, CSDB-linear, GAGs. All nomenclature support will go to 95-100% (now >10 total) + we even prevent & fix chemical impossibilities. Universal Input will also be in our GUI and at canonicalize.streamlit.app with GlycoDraw!

A few GlycoDraw-related highlights of the upcoming glycowork v1.6 update (dropping in a few weeks): - our very own rendering engine (GlycoDraw for the masses, thanks to glycorender!); - SNFG-gradients; - automated Alt text; - reverse-highlighting; - even more support for highly complex sequences

If you're interested in glycobioinformatics in Python (or via a GUI), we've got glycowork for you:-) It just had its v1.4 update & we develop it since ~3.5 years You can use it to draw SNFG-glycans, annotate glycan motifs, convert nomenclatures, match compositions to sequences, train AI models, etc
