The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) captures and presents information relating to experimental workflows that are based around nucleotide sequencing. ENA is made up of a number of distinct databases that includes EMBL-Bank, the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and the Trace Archive each with their own data formats and standards. This collection references Embl-Bank identifiers.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in European Nucleotide Archive should match this regular expression:
^[A-Z]+[0-9]+(\.\d+)?$

Example Local Unique Identifier

BN000065   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from European Nucleotide Archive should match this regular expression:
^ena\.embl:[A-Z]+[0-9]+(\.\d+)?$

Example CURIE

ena.embl:BN000065

Has URI collision with (bioregistry.schema:0000016 )

This resource shares one or more URI format strings with insdc.run .

Therefore, when generating an extended prefix map, ena.embl, its CURIE prefix synonyms, and its URI prefix synonyms are merged into the record for insdc.run . If you believe that these are two distinct semantic spaces and should not be merged, please open a new issue on the Semantic Farm issue tracker for discussion.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Semantic Farm and other registries. There are 9 mappings to external registries for this resource with 6 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 BN000065 is used to demonstrate the providers available for European Nucleotide Archive. 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 Semantic Farm are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
