Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in BioCyc collection of metabolic pathway databases should match this regular expression:
^[A-Z-0-9]+(\:)?[A-Za-z0-9+_.%-:]+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

ECOLI:CYT-D-UBIOX-CPLX   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from BioCyc collection of metabolic pathway databases should match this regular expression:
^biocyc:[A-Z-0-9]+(\:)?[A-Za-z0-9+_.%-:]+$

Example CURIE

biocyc:ECOLI:CYT-D-UBIOX-CPLX

Publications

• 2015 The MetaCyc database of metabolic pathways and enzymes and the BioCyc collection of pathway/genome databases.
• 2005 Expansion of the BioCyc collection of pathway/genome databases to 160 genomes.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 7 mappings to external registries for biocyc with 3 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE biocyc:ECOLI:CYT-D-UBIOX-CPLX is used to demonstrate the provides available for biocyc. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
