What’s new

This section provides news on changes in CAZy interface, content, and related resources.

September 2025 update of CAZy

addition : 30 octobre 2025.

This month, we officialized two novel families, CBM107 and GT139.

The July 2025 update of CAZy

addition : 29 septembre 2025.

This month, we officialized three novel GH families, GH192, GH193 and GH194, all with chracterized β-1,2-glucanase members in a publication by Nakajima and coworkers.

We also officially release the division into subfamilies of two families GH2, described in (Lebreton et al., 2025), as well as GH57, presented in (Poláček et al. 2025).

May 2025

addition : 8 juillet 2025.

This month, we officialized three novel families, GH191, AA18 and CE21.

The March 2025 update of CAZy

addition : 15 mai 2025.

The CAZy database introduces CAZac, a new, powerful and searchable descriptor of CAZyme reactions to complement the EC number system. Implemented for glycoside hydrolases, glycoside phosphorylases, transglycosidases, polysaccharide lyases and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases, CAZac allows complex searches in the CAZy database to uncover the evolution of substrate specificity and mechanisms of CAZymes across families. publication here.

February 2025 update of CAZy

addition : 14 mars 2025.

The CAZy database introduces CAZac, a new, powerful and searchable descriptor of CAZyme reactions to complement the EC number system.

This month is the first 2025 update of CAZy ! We’ve been delayed by the NCBI taxonomy (which created ghost IDs), and, on our side, we corrected our Krona charts for JGI annotations (many genomes were missing).

We wish you the best for 2025 in Glycosciences and personnally
