	[No title]
		The Consortium for Functional Glycomics was established by NIH (NIGHMS) as a Glue-Grant, and anticipates spending a projected total of $34 million on the project over the course of five years.
		Three major components comprise the Consortium for Functional Glycomics: the Steering Committee, the Cores (an Administrative Core and seven Scientific Cores), and the Participating Investigators.
		The philosophy of the Consortium is to be inclusive, and all qualified investigators are accepted as members.

	Glycome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The glycome is the collective identity of the entirety of carbohydrates in an organism.
		The glycome is studied by glycobiology sometimes referred to as glycomics.
		The glycome exceeds the complexity of the proteome as a result of the even greater diversity of the glycome's constituent carbohydrates and is further complicated by the sheer multiplicity of their possibilities of combination and interaction of the carbohydrates with each other and with proteins.

	Genomics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The major tools and methods related to genomics are bioinformatics, genetic analysis, measurement of gene expression, and determination of gene function.
		Experimental investigation of some of these sequences has shown that some are transcribed into small RNA molecules, although the functions of these RNAs were not immediately apparent.
		The identification of similar sequences (including many genes) in two distantly related organisms, but not in other members of one of the clades, has led to the theory that these sequences were acquired by horizontal gene transfer.

	C&EN: COVERSTORY - CARBOHYDRATE ADVANCES
		In 2003, a collaborative team at the Consortium for Functional Glycomics (CFG), which is based at Scripps, introduced arrays in which biotinylated polysaccharides were adsorbed to wells of streptavidin-coated microtiter plates.
		This consortium's aim is to generate glycoarrays both from synthetic carbohydrates and from natural carbohydrates obtained from cells, tissues, and organs.
		CFG 's nomenclature consists of a series of colored geometric symbols, one for each type of monosaccharide, and characters that indicate the stereochemistry and connection points of glycosidic linkages between sugars in oligosaccharides.

	Consortium for Functional Glycomics awarded $40.7 million 'glue' grant
		The Consortium for Functional Glycomics was formed in response to the NIGMS announcement that it would provide glue grants to support multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional research projects that would be considered beyond the means of any one group.
		Earlier this year, the consortium's glycan microarray was used to identify mutations that could enable adaptation of a particularly virulent form of H5N1-the avian flu virus-to spread in the human population.
		The consortium has been particularly active in organizing and participating in symposia and workshops to develop the analytic standards, data exchange formats, and bioinformatics tools necessary to move the study of glycomics forward.

	Imperial receives $4 million for glycomics research
		The consortium provides resources to more than 300 participating scientists worldwide who are engaged in research aimed at understanding how the sugary layer on the outside of cells enables cell to cell communication.
		The Scripps Consortium for Functional Glycomics 'glues' together the work of investigators from around the world, and the NIGMS grant will provide the funds to accelerate research into this critically important field.
		The long term goal of the Consortium under the new research grant is to understand the mechanisms through which carbohydrate-binding proteins mediate cell function.

	Genomics and Proteomics - Counting Carbs: Glycomics Gears Up (Site not responding. Last check: )
		CFG is an initiative funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences to understand the role of carbohydrate-protein interactions at the cell surface in cell-cell communication.
		Because the CFG mission is to amass data on protein-carbohydrate interactions, it has caught the fancy of many immunologists.
		"When you go to the glycome, the complication that you have is this sort of non-template-driven synthesis," says Rahul Raman, PhD, director of the bioinformatics core of the CFG and a postdoctoral associate in the division of bioengineering and environmental health at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass.

	CHI, Cambridge Healthtech Institute
		Functional glycomics focuses on the subset of glycan structures recognized as counter receptors by known mammalian glycan binding proteins, and the roles of these proteins in mediating biology.
		To this end, the Consortium for Functional Glycomics was founded to accelerate progress in identifying the paradigms by which protein carbohydrate-interactions mediate cell communication and now has 160 participating investigators worldwide.
		Because glycan binding proteins mediate critical functions in immune function and disease processes, the rapidly expanding glycomics field is certain to have increasing impact in the pharmaceutical field in the coming years.

	NIH News Release--NIGMS Awards "Glue Grant" to Study Cell Talk- - 10/05/2001
		Paulson's "Consortium for Functional Glycomics" project (glycomics.scripps.edu) promises to change that by bringing together a large group of scientists from leading academic medical centers across the country.
		"Glycomics" is the scientific pursuit of identifying and studying all of the carbohydrate molecules produced by an organism.
		A cornerstone to the Consortium, and to the NIGMS glue grant program in general, is free and wide access to research results.
