Identifier Standards
Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Nucleotide Sequence Database should match this regular expression:
^([A-Z]\d{5}|[A-Z]{2}\d{6}|[A-Z]{4,6}\d{8,10}|[A-J][A-Z]{2}\d{5})(\.\d+)?$

Example Local Unique Identifier
X58356   Resolve
Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Nucleotide Sequence Database should match this regular expression:
^insdc:([A-Z]\d{5}|[A-Z]{2}\d{6}|[A-Z]{4,6}\d{8,10}|[A-J][A-Z]{2}\d{5})(\.\d+)?$

Example CURIE
insdc:X58356

Has incoming URI collisions

The following resources share a URI format string with insdc:
nucleotide

When generating an extended prefix map, their respective CURIE prefixes and URI prefixes are merged into the record for insdc. If you believe that these are distinct semantic spaces and should not be merged, please open a new issue on the Bioregistry issue tracker for discussion.

Providers

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 X58356 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Nucleotide Sequence Database. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Extra Providers

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