ISfinder is a database of bacterial insertion sequences (IS). It assigns IS nomenclature and acts as a repository for ISs. Each IS is annotated with information such as the open reading frame DNA sequence, the sequence of the ends of the element and target sites, its origin and distribution together with a bibliography, where available.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Insertion sequence elements database should match this regular expression:
^IS\w+(\-\d)?$

Example Local Unique Identifier
ISA1083-2   Resolve
Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Insertion sequence elements database should match this regular expression:
^isfinder:IS\w+(\-\d)?$

Example CURIE
isfinder:ISA1083-2

Providers

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 ISA1083-2 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Insertion sequence elements database. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Extra Providers

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
