Current Literature in Glycobiology is a one-credit (per quarter) elective that provides a forum for informally discussing current papers in glycobiology research. Topics include glycan chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, and molecular biology in animals, plants and microbes, as well as medical aspects of glycobiology.
