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 VectorBase 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 VectorBase should match this regular expression:
^vectorbase:\D{4}\d{6}(\-\D{2})?$

Example CURIE

vectorbase:ISCW007415

Mappings from records in Bioregistry to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 7 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 ISCW007415 is used to demonstrate the providers available for VectorBase. 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.
