Cazy_webscraper: local compilation and interrogation of comprehensive CAZyme datasets.

ABSTRACT: Carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) are pivotal in biological processes including energy metabolism, cell structure maintenance, signalling, and pathogen recognition. Bioinformatic prediction and mining of CAZymes improves our understanding of these activities and enables discovery of candidates of interest for industrial biotechnology, particularly the processing of organic waste for biofuel production. CAZy (www.cazy.org) is a high-quality, manually curated, and authoritative database of CAZymes that is often the starting point for these analyses. Automated querying and integration of CAZy data with other public datasets would constitute a powerful resource for mining and exploring CAZyme diversity. However, CAZy does not itself provide methods to automate queries, or integrate annotat
