These derived traits are the most basic and commonly used derived traits. They describe global properties of a glycome including the type of glycans, fucosylation level, sialylation level, galactosylation level, and branching level.

Usage

basic_traits()

Value

A named list of derived traits.

Details

The explanations of the derived traits are as follows:

  • TM: Proportion of highmannose glycans

  • TH: Proportion of hybrid glycans

  • TC: Proportion of complex glycans

  • MM: Average number of mannoses within highmannose glycans

  • CA2: Proportion of bi-antennary glycans within complex glycans

  • CA3: Proportion of tri-antennary glycans within complex glycans

  • CA4: Proportion of tetra-antennary glycans within complex glycans

  • TF: Proportion of fucosylated glycans

  • TFc: Proportion of core-fucosylated glycans

  • TFa: Proportion of arm-fucosylated glycans

  • TB: Proportion of glycans with bisecting GlcNAc

  • SG: Average degree of sialylation per galactose

  • GA: Average degree of galactosylation per antenna

  • TS: Proportion of sialylated glycans
