Welcome to the New

RINGS is a web resource providing algorithmic and data mining tools to aid glycobiology research.
Many of the tools have been published in the literature;
RINGS provides free access to these methods for academic research.

Glycan Miner Tool
implemented based on Hashimoto et al., 2008 for mining alpha-closed frequent subtrees from a set of glycan structures
Glycosylation Simulation (GlycoSim) Tool
implemented based on Krambeck et al., 2005, which was later improved in Krambeck et al., 2009, for dynamically computing the N-glycan biosynthesis pathway from a given glycan structure
Glycan Pathway Predictor (GPP) Tool
implemented based on Krambeck et al., 2005, which was later improved in Krambeck et al., 2009, for dynamically computing the N-glycan biosynthesis pathway from a given glycan structure
MCAW TOOL
glycan structure multiple alignment tool. Align a set of glycan structures and visualize the result as a glycan profile. This tool can be used to find commonalities among a group of glycan structures.
TED MCAW
Glycan multiple alignment tool based on tree edit distance. Execute glycan multiple alignment for the query glycans, and visualize the result glycan profile as an image.
