eggNOG (evolutionary genealogy of genes: Non-supervised Orthologous Groups) is a database of orthologous groups of genes. The orthologous groups are annotated with functional description lines (derived by identifying a common denominator for the genes based on their various annotations), with functional categories (i.e derived from the original COG/KOG categories).

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in eggNOG should match this regular expression:
^\w+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

veNOG12876   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from eggNOG should match this regular expression:
^eggnog:\w+$

Example CURIE

eggnog:veNOG12876

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 6 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 veNOG12876 is used to demonstrate the providers available for eggNOG. 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.
