What is a CGC?
A carbohydrate-active enzyme gene cluster (CGC) is a group of neighbouring genes that includes at least one CAZyme and, in nearly all cases, a transporter, along with nearby sulfatases, peptidases, signal-transduction proteins and transcription factors. The CGCs in mpCGCdb were predicted with the mpCGC pipeline. Every enzyme family, community and taxonomy page on this site is built from these clusters.

Find a CGC
CGCs aren't included in the search box at the top of the page. To open one, enter its ID:
IDs are case-sensitive and have the form
<genome_id>_CGC<n>. Each CGC page is at
https://mpcgcdb.com/cgcs/<cgc_id>/.
You can also reach a CGC from its genome, since each genome page lists all of its CGCs, or browse by CAZyme family, sulfatase family or taxonomy.
