# GlycoGenius - The Ultimate Glycomics Data Analysis Tool

GlycoGenius is an open-source program offering an automated workflow for glycomics data analysis, featuring an intuitive graphical interface. 

Current software tools are effective in certain aspects of glycomics data analysis but all require significant effort to reach satisfactory qualitative results, often requiring months of manual data curation, revision and integration.

With that in mind, GlycoGenius is tailored to reduce manual workload. It allows for data visualization and automatically constructs search spaces, identifies, scores, and quantifies glycans, filters results, and annotates fragment spectra of N- and O-glycans, glycosaminoglycans and more.

This GUI module uses the [GlycoGenius backend](https://github.com/LoponteHF/GlycoGenius) for the raw data analysis.

## Installation

There are two ways to install it:
- Download the latest version from the [Releases page](https://github.com/LoponteHF/GlycoGenius_GUI/releases), unzip it and run the executable file (Windows only, for other OS, you can install the GUI from PyPI);
- Install from PyPI:
	1. Install Python from [python.org](https://www.python.org/) or from your OS package distributor;
	2. Type "pip install glycogenius_GUI" or "pip3 install glycogenius_GUI" on a terminal;
	3. Run it by typing "glycogenius_GUI" or "python3 -m glycogenius_GUI" on the terminal.

Older versions of MacOS might not install GlycoGenius properly on Python versions 3.14 or later, so install an earlier, compatible Python version, such as 3.13.
	
## Usage

1. Export your MS data to an MzXML or MzML file;
2. Open GlycoGenius;
3. Follow the buttons workflow on the top part of the program.

For detailed information on the different settings, access the [Instructions Manual](https://github.com/LoponteHF/GlycoGenius_GUI/blob/main/GlycoGenius_Instructions_Manual.pdf). It will be updated periodically, but less often than the program itself, so some features may be missing in it.
