The Mammalian Phenotype Ontology (MP) classifies and organises phenotypic information related to the mouse and other mammalian species. This ontology has been applied to mouse phenotype descriptions in various databases allowing comparisons of data from diverse mammalian sources. It can facilitate in the identification of appropriate experimental disease models, and aid in the discovery of candidate disease genes and molecular signaling pathways.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Mammalian Phenotype Ontology should match this regular expression:
^\d{7}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

0005452   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Mammalian Phenotype Ontology should match this regular expression:
^MP:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

MP:0005452

MIRIAM Namespace Embedded in LUI

The legacy MIRIAM standard for generating CURIEs with this resource includes the namespaceEmbeddedInLUI as true. The actual part that gets prefixed before the local unique identifier regex, otherwise known as the banana, is MP:. Therefore, you might see local unique identifiers written out as CURIEs.

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

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE mp:0005452 is used to demonstrate the provides available for mp. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
