Subject areas: Biochemistry and structural biology, Bioinformatics AbstractThere has been considerable recent interest in proteomic analyses of plasma for the purpose of discovering biomarkers. Profiling N-linked glycopeptides is a particularly promising method because the population of N-linked glycosites represents the proteomes of plasma, the cell surface, and secreted proteins at very low redundancy and provides a compelling link between the tissue and plasma proteomes. Here, we describe UniPep http://www.unipep.org webcite - a database of human N-linked glycosites - as a resource for biomarker discovery. |
