MAO is an ontology for multiple alignments of nucleic and protein sequences. MAO is designed to improve interoperation and data sharing between different alignment protocols for the construction of a high quality, reliable multiple alignment in order to facilitate knowledge extraction and the presentation of the most pertinent information to the biologist.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Multiple alignment should match this regular expression:
^\d{7}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

0000061   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Multiple alignment should match this regular expression:
^MAO:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

MAO:0000061

Pattern for RDF URIs

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MAO_$1

Example RDF URI

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MAO_0000061

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 5 mappings to external registries for this resource with 3 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 0000061 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Multiple alignment. 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.
