UNITE is a fungal rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence database. It focuses on high-quality ITS sequences generated from fruiting bodies collected and identified by experts and deposited in public herbaria. Entries may be supplemented with metadata on describing locality, habitat, soil, climate, and interacting taxa.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Molecular database for the identification of fungi should match this regular expression:
^UDB\d{6}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

UDB000691   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Molecular database for the identification of fungi should match this regular expression:
^unite:UDB\d{6}$

Example CURIE

unite:UDB000691

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 9 mappings to external registries for this resource with 5 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 UDB000691 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Molecular database for the identification of fungi. 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.
