Glycomics

Glycomics is the comprehensive study of glycomes[1] (the entire complement of sugars, whether free or present in more complex molecules of an organism), including genetic, physiologic, pathologic, and other aspects.[2][3] Glycomics "is the systematic study of all glycan structures of a given cell type or organism" and is a subset of glycobiology.[4] The term glycomics is derived from the chemical prefix for sweetness or a sugar, "glyco-", and was formed to follow the omics naming convention established by genomics (which deals with genes) and proteomics (which deals with proteins).
