Abstract
The Human Glycome Atlas (HGA) Project was launched in April 2023, spearheaded by three Japanese institutes: the Tokai National Higher Education and Research System, the National Institutes of Natural Sciences, and Soka University. This was the first time that a field in the life sciences was adopted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) for a Large-scale Academic Frontiers Promotion Project. This project aims to construct a knowledgebase of human glycans and glycoproteins as a standard for the human glycome. A high-throughput pipeline for comprehensively analyzing 20,000 blood samples in its first five years is planned, at which time an access-controlled version of a human glycomics knowledgebase, called TOHSA, will be released. By the end of the final tenth year, TOHSA will provide a central resource linking human glycan data with other omics data including disease-related information.
