mircoRNA Gene Database is a collection of animal microRNA genes. This database allows researchers to analyze mircoRNA properties like secondary structure and features in a phylogenetic context.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in microRNA Gene Database should match this regular expression:
^[a-zA-Z0-9]+(-[a-zA-Z0-9]+)+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

Hsa-Let-7-P2a3   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from microRNA Gene Database should match this regular expression:
^mirgenedb:[a-zA-Z0-9]+(-[a-zA-Z0-9]+)+$

Example CURIE

mirgenedb:Hsa-Let-7-P2a3

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 Hsa-Let-7-P2a3 is used to demonstrate the providers available for microRNA Gene Database. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
