Introduction

Cao Weiqian's team from the Biomedical Research Institute of Fudan University, in collaboration with Shanghai Omicsolution Co., Ltd. , published a research paper entitled 'GlycAP, a glycogenic analysis platform for site-specific N-glycation research' https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijms.2022.116947 in the journal Int J Mass Spectrum. This article introduces a new N-glycoproteome analysis platform called GlycAP in detail. The platform is embedded with different analysis modules, including qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, functional analysis and clinical analysis, which shortens the distance from the results of mass spectrum search to finding potential biomarkers in different glycopeptides.GlycAP provides users with a relatively complete process analysis platform for glycosylation proteome identification and analysis. It connects the conventional analysis together and directly connects with the search results of the glycopeptide software pGlyco3 and pGlycoQuant, which can simplify the steps used by users and improve the degree of automation of analysis. Even new researchers can conduct complete glycosylation analysis. GlycAP also supports the introduction of new analytical modules and processes, which greatly improves the flexibility of analysis.
