Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Genome Taxonomy Database should match this regular expression:
^[cdfgops]__\w+\S+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

g__Prochlorococcus_A   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Genome Taxonomy Database should match this regular expression:
^gtdb:[cdfgops]__\w+\S+$

Example CURIE

gtdb:g__Prochlorococcus_A

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 1 mappings to external registries for this resource with 1 unique external prefixes.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier g__Prochlorococcus_A is used to demonstrate the providers available for Genome Taxonomy Database. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
