VectorBase is part of the VEuPathDB, a NIAID-funded Bioinformatic Resource Center focused on invertebrate vectors of human pathogens and related species of interest. Currently, VectorBase contains genome information for approximately 80 organisms: mosquitoes, bed bugs, biting midges, ticks, tsetse flies, mites, sand flies, house flies, body lice, stable flies, kissing bugs, and a snail which is an intermediate host.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Bioinformatics Resource Center for Invertebrate Vectors of Human Pathogens should match this regular expression:
^\D{4}\d{6}(\-\D{2})?$

Example Local Unique Identifier

ISCW007415   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Bioinformatics Resource Center for Invertebrate Vectors of Human Pathogens should match this regular expression:
^vectorbase:\D{4}\d{6}(\-\D{2})?$

Example CURIE

vectorbase:ISCW007415

• 2008 VectorBase: a data resource for invertebrate vector genomics

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 8 mappings to external registries for this resource with 4 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 ISCW007415 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Bioinformatics Resource Center for Invertebrate Vectors of Human Pathogens. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
