Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Mouse Genome Informatics should match this regular expression:
^\d+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

6017782   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Mouse Genome Informatics should match this regular expression:
^MGI:\d+$

Example CURIE

MGI:6017782

MIRIAM Namespace Embedded in LUI

The legacy MIRIAM standard for generating CURIEs with this resource annotates the namespaceEmbeddedInLUI as true. This means that you may see local unique identifiers that include a redundant prefix and delimiter (also known as a banana) and therefore look like a CURIE. For Mouse Genome Informatics, the banana looks like MGI:. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like MGI:6017782 (instead of the canonical form 6017782) and CURIEs for this resource that look like MGI:MGI:6017782 (instead of the canonical form MGI:6017782). The Bioregistry will automatically strip off the banana when standardizing local unique identifiers and CURIEs.

In Collection

Global Biodata Coalition - Global Core Biodata Resources

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 14 mappings to external registries for this resource with 7 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 6017782 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Mouse Genome Informatics. 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.
