Xenbase is the model organism database for Xenopus laevis and X. (Silurana) tropicalis. It contains genomic, development data and community information for Xenopus research. it includes gene expression patterns that incorporates image data from the literature, large scale screens and community submissions.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Xenbase should match this regular expression:
^XB\-\w+\-\d+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

XB-GENE-922462   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Xenbase should match this regular expression:
^xenbase:XB\-\w+\-\d+$

Example CURIE

xenbase:XB-GENE-922462

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 11 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 XB-GENE-922462 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Xenbase. 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.
