Abstract:
With the completion of human genome, we are entering the functional genomic age. To further reveal the nature of life, glycomics comes into being and becomes a research focus. This review gives a deep insight on the current research progress of glycomics, including the research target, the structural classification and metabolism of sugar chain, the biological significance, research approaches, and the correlation between glycomics and liver diseases.
