Monosaccharide color code in the Symbol Nomenclature For Glycans (SNFG)
The Symbol Nomenclature For Glycans (SNFG)[1] is a community-curated standard for the depiction of simple monosaccharides and complex carbohydrates (glycans) using various colored-coded, geometric shapes, along with defined text additions.[2][3] It is hosted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information at the NCBI-Glycans Page.[4] It is curated by an international groups of researchers in the field that are collectively called the SNFG Discussion Group. The overall goal of the SNFG is to:
Facilitate communications and presentations of monosaccharides and glycans for researchers in the Glycosciences, and for scientists and students less familiar with the field.
Ensure uniform usage of the nomenclature in the literature, thus helping to ensure scientific accuracy in journal and online publications.
Continue to develop the SNFG and its applications to aid wider use by the scientific community.
