Glycan Atlas is a set of glycan maps over the whole body of an organism.The glycan map that includes data of glycan structure and quantity displays micro-heterogeneity of the glycans in a tissue, an organ, or cells.The two-dimensional glycan mapping is widely used for structure analysis of N-linked oligosaccharides on glycoproteins.In this study we
