The Sequence Read Archive (SRA) stores raw sequencing data from the next generation of sequencing platforms Data submitted to SRA. It is organized using a metadata model consisting of six objects: study, sample, experiment, run, analysis and submission. The SRA study contains high-level information including goals of the study and literature references, and may be linked to the INSDC BioProject database.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Sequence Read Archive should match this regular expression:
^[SED]R[APRSXZ]\d+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

SRX000007   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Sequence Read Archive should match this regular expression:
^insdc\.sra:[SED]R[APRSXZ]\d+$

Example CURIE

insdc.sra:SRX000007

In Collection

Resources mentioned in "Sharing biological data: why, when, and how"

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 5 mappings to external registries for this resource with 3 unique external prefixes.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier SRX000007 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Sequence Read Archive. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
