Carbohydrates are the most common but less known biological material on earth. This deficit can partly be explained by the lack of glycodatabases and glycobioinformatics. UniCarb-DB is an example of what can be achieved with a lot of dedication, cross-disciplinary collaborations and lack of monetary resources. In 2009 the UniCarb-DB was initiated in order to meet in-house need to store structural and MS-glycomic data, and has now grown to be one of the largest experimental glycomic MS databases, generously supported by several national and European funding for continued growth and development.
