CAZypedia needs your help! We have many unassigned GH, PL, CE, AA, GT, and CBM pages in need of Authors and Responsible Curators.
Scientists at all career stages, including students, are welcome to contribute to CAZypedia. Read more here, and in the 10th anniversary article in Glycobiology.

This page presents a brief history of the key milestones in the development of CAZypedia.
For a detailed overview of recent developments, please see the "Latest News" section on the Main Page or the Recent Changes page.
All CAZypedians are welcomed to contribute to this document and correct any errors and omissions.
- July 2006
- The idea to produce a comprehesive encyclopedia of carbohydrate-active enzymes as a printed volume is raised by Prof. Bruce Stone at the XXIIIrd International Carbohydrate Symposium in Whistler, Canada (July 23-28). Among others, ^^^Steve Withers^^^, ^^^Gideon Davies^^^, ^^^David Vocadlo^^^, and ^^^Harry Brumer^^^ were involved in this informal discussion.
- April 2007
- In a group discussion at the 7th Carbohydrate Bioengineering Meeting held in Braunschweig, Germany (April 22–25, links: 1, 2) the suggestion was put forward that Bruce's encyclopedia might be better served online, due to the rapid nature of developments in the field. "CAZypedia" was suggested as a dynamic, wiki-based solution to this issue.
- May 2007
- ^^^Harry Brumer^^^ begins setting-up CAZypedia using the Mediawiki software that runs Wikipedia. Pages on Glycoside Hydrolase Families GH1, GH2, GH10, GH11 by ^^^Steve Withers^^^ and GH36 and GH27 by ^^^Harry Brumer^^^ were initiated and completed shortly thereafter with editing help by ^^^Bernard Henrissat^^^ (see page histories here: GH1, GH2, GH10, GH11, GH36, GH27).
- 05 October 2008
- A contemporary review of the CAZy Database by ^^^Bernard Henrissat^^^, ^^^Pedro Coutinho^^^, and colleagues appears online in Nucleic Acids Research (Cantarel et al., NAR 2009 37(Database issue):D233-D238; DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkn663). This paper is the first to mention CAZypedia in the printed literature, if only briefly).
- 30 July 2009
- CAZypedia is presented at the 2009 Gordon Research Conference on Cellulosomes, Cellulases & Other Carbohydrate Modifying Enzymes by ^^^Harry Brumer^^^.
