The Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) is an annotated non-redundant collection of eukaryotic POL II promoters, for which the transcription start site has been determined experimentally. Access to promoter sequences is provided by pointers to positions in nucleotide sequence entries. The annotation part of an entry includes description of the initiation site mapping data, cross-references to other databases, and bibliographic references. EPD is structured in a way that facilitates dynamic extraction of biologically meaningful promoter subsets for comparative sequence analysis.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Eukaryotic Promoter Database should match this regular expression:
^[A-Z-_0-9]+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

TA_H3   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Eukaryotic Promoter Database should match this regular expression:
^epd:[A-Z-_0-9]+$

Example CURIE

epd:TA_H3

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 8 mappings to external registries for this resource with 5 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 TA_H3 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Eukaryotic Promoter Database. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
