The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) captures and presents information relating to experimental workflows that are based around nucleotide sequencing. ENA is made up of a number of distinct databases that includes EMBL-Bank, the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and the Trace Archive each with their own data formats and standards. This collection references Embl-Bank identifiers.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in European Nucleotide Archive should match this regular expression:
^[A-Z]+[0-9]+(\.\d+)?$

Example Local Unique Identifier

BN000065   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from European Nucleotide Archive should match this regular expression:
^ena\.embl:[A-Z]+[0-9]+(\.\d+)?$

Example CURIE

ena.embl:BN000065

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 8 mappings to external registries for ena.embl with 5 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE ena.embl:BN000065 is used to demonstrate the provides available for ena.embl. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
