title: 'glymotif: Extract Glycan Motifs from Glycan Structures'
version: 0.14.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.glymotif
abstract: Provides comprehensive tools for glycan motif analysis and detection in
  glycobioinformatics research. The package enables users to identify, count, and
  match glycan motifs (recurring substructures) within complex glycan structures using
  advanced subgraph isomorphism algorithms. It includes a curated database of known
  motifs from the GlycoMotif GlyGen Collection, supports both concrete and generic
  monosaccharide matching, and offers flexible alignment options (core, terminal,
  or anywhere). Key functionalities include motif presence detection, occurrence counting,
  detailed node-to-node mapping, and batch analysis of multiple glycans against multiple
  motifs. The package seamlessly integrates with the glycoverse ecosystem, particularly
  'glyrepr' and 'glyparse', making it essential for structural glycomics analysis,
  biomarker discovery, and understanding glycan-mediated biological processes.
