COSMIC is a comprehensive global resource for information on somatic mutations in human cancer, combining curation of the scientific literature with tumor resequencing data from the Cancer Genome Project at the Sanger Institute, U.K. This collection references genes.

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

Prefix

cosmic.gene

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in COSMIC Gene should match this regular expression:
^[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9-]*$

Example Local Unique Identifier

BRAF   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from COSMIC Gene should match this regular expression:
^cosmic\.gene:[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9-]*$

Example CURIE

cosmic.gene:BRAF

Mappings from records in Bioregistry to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 5 mappings to external registries with 2 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 BRAF is used to demonstrate the providers available for COSMIC Gene. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. 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.
