The Gene Wiki is project which seeks to provide detailed information on human genes. Initial 'stub' articles are created in an automated manner, with further information added by the community. Gene Wiki can be accessed in wikipedia using Gene identifiers from NCBI.

This resource is a provider. This means that while it may have its own prefix, it actually reuses the identifiers provided by the ncbigene prefix. For all use cases, you should use ncbigene instead of genewiki.

Provides

NCBIGene

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 6 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 1017 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Gene Wiki. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
