The goal of glydb is to provide a comprehensive database of glycan structures, including common glycan structures and their modifications. The database is updated periodically and is used by the glycoverse ecosystem. Only fully defined glycan structures are included.
The glydb package is not a core glycoverse package. You need to install it individually even if you have installed the meta-package glycoverse.
You can install the latest release of glydb from r-universe (recommended):
# install.packages("pak")
pak::repo_add(glycoverse = "https://glycoverse.r-universe.dev")
pak::pkg_install("glydb")Or from GitHub:
pak::pkg_install("glycoverse/glydb@*release")Or install the development version (NOT recommended):
pak::pkg_install("glycoverse/glydb")Note: Tips and troubleshooting for the meta-package glycoverse are also applicable here: Installation of glycoverse.
The main purpose of glydb is to provide “databases” for the
glyanno package. It is also
useful for users who want to systematically analyze glycan structures in
the database.
