VectorBase is part of the VEuPathDB, a NIAID-funded Bioinformatic Resource Center focused on invertebrate vectors of human pathogens and related species of interest. Currently, VectorBase contains genome information for approximately 80 organisms: mosquitoes, bed bugs, biting midges, ticks, tsetse flies, mites, sand flies, house flies, body lice, stable flies, kissing bugs, and a snail which is an intermediate host.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Bioinformatics Resource Center for Invertebrate Vectors of Human Pathogens should match this regular expression:
^\D{4}\d{6}(\-\D{2})?$

Example Local Unique Identifier

ISCW007415   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Bioinformatics Resource Center for Invertebrate Vectors of Human Pathogens should match this regular expression:
^vectorbase:\D{4}\d{6}(\-\D{2})?$

Example CURIE

vectorbase:ISCW007415

Publications

• 2014 VectorBase: an updated bioinformatics resource for invertebrate vectors and other organisms related with human diseases
• 2008 VectorBase: a data resource for invertebrate vector genomics

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 8 mappings to external registries for this resource with 4 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE vectorbase:ISCW007415 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.
