A GI number (for GenInfo Identifier, sometimes written in lower case, gi) is a simple series of digits that are assigned consecutively to each sequence record processed by NCBI. The GI number bears no resemblance to the Version number of the sequence record. Each time a sequence record is changed, it is assigned a new GI number.
ncbigi
Local identifiers in GenInfo Identifier should match this
regular expression:
^\d+$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from GenInfo Identifier should match
this regular expression:
^ncbigi:\d+$

This resource shares one or more URI format strings with genbank .
Therefore, when generating an extended prefix map, ncbigi
,
its CURIE prefix synonyms, and its URI prefix synonyms are merged into the
record for
genbank
.
If you believe that these are two distinct semantic spaces and should not be merged,
please open a new issue on the Bioregistry issue tracker
for discussion.
The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 4 mappings to external registries for this resource with 4 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE
ncbigi:568815597
is used to demonstrate the provides available for
this resource. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic
logic beyond string formatting.
