Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Ensembl Gene 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])?))$

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Ensembl Gene 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])?))$

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 11 mappings to external registries for ensembl with 5 unique external prefixes.

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.
