ISfinder is a database of bacterial insertion sequences (IS). It assigns IS nomenclature and acts as a repository for ISs. Each IS is annotated with information such as the open reading frame DNA sequence, the sequence of the ends of the element and target sites, its origin and distribution together with a bibliography, where available.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 6 mappings to external registries for this resource with 2 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE isfinder:ISA1083-2 is used to demonstrate the provides available for this resource. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here.
