Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Ensembl gene ID should match this regular expression:
^((ENS[FPTG]\\d{11}(\\.\\d+)?)|(FB\\w{2}\\d{7})|(Y[A-Z]{2}\\d{3}[a-zA-Z](\\-[A-Z])?)|([A-Z_a-z0-9]+(\\.)?(t)?(\\d+)?([a-z])?))$

Example Local Unique Identifier

ENSG00000139618   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Ensembl gene ID should match this regular expression:
^ensembl:((ENS[FPTG]\\d{11}(\\.\\d+)?)|(FB\\w{2}\\d{7})|(Y[A-Z]{2}\\d{3}[a-zA-Z](\\-[A-Z])?)|([A-Z_a-z0-9]+(\\.)?(t)?(\\d+)?([a-z])?))$

Example CURIE

ensembl:ENSG00000139618

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 7 mappings to external registries for ensembl.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE ensembl:ENSG00000139618 is used to demonstrate the provides available for ensembl. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here.
