TFClass is a classification of eukaryotic transcription factors based on the characteristics of their DNA-binding domains. It comprises four general levels (superclass, class, family, subfamily) and two levels of instantiation (genus and molecular species). Two of them (subfamily and factor species) are optional. More detailed explanations about the classification scheme and its criteria are given here..

Mappings from records in Bioregistry to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 3 mappings to external registries 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 2.1.1 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Classification of Transcription Factors in Mammalia. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
