Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) is a database resource for understanding high-level functions and utilities of the biological system, such as the cell, the organism and the ecosystem, from molecular-level information, especially large-scale molecular datasets generated by genome sequencing and other high-throughput experimental technologies.

2016 KEGG: new perspectives on genomes, pathways, diseases and drugs

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in KEGG ID should match this regular expression:
^([CHDEGTMKR]\d+)|(\w+:[\w\d\.-]*)|([a-z]{3,5})|(\w{2,4}\d{5})$

Example Local Unique Identifier

hsa00190   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from KEGG ID should match this regular expression:
^kegg:([CHDEGTMKR]\d+)|(\w+:[\w\d\.-]*)|([a-z]{3,5})|(\w{2,4}\d{5})$

Example CURIE

kegg:hsa00190

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 11 mappings to external registries for this resource with 6 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 hsa00190 is used to demonstrate the providers available for KEGG ID. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. 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.
