TFClass is a classification of eukaryotic transcription factors based on the characteristics of their DNA-binding domains. It comprises four general levels (superclass, class, family, subfamily) and two levels of instantiation (genus and molecular species). Two of them (subfamily and factor species) are optional. More detailed explanations about the classification scheme and its criteria are given here..

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 3 mappings to external registries for this resource with 3 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 2.1.1 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Classification of Transcription Factors in Mammalia. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
