OrthoDB presents a catalog of eukaryotic orthologous protein-coding genes across vertebrates, arthropods, and fungi. Orthology refers to the last common ancestor of the species under consideration, and thus OrthoDB explicitly delineates orthologs at each radiation along the species phylogeny. The database of orthologs presents available protein descriptors, together with Gene Ontology and InterPro attributes, which serve to provide general descriptive annotations of the orthologous groups

This resource is a provider. This means that while it may have its own prefix, it actually reuses the identifiers provided by the uniprot prefix. For all use cases, you should use uniprot instead of orthodb.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in OrthoDB should match this regular expression:
^\w+$

Example Local Unique Identifier
Q9P0K8   Resolve
Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from OrthoDB should match this regular expression:
^orthodb:\w+$

Example CURIE
orthodb:Q9P0K8

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 Q9P0K8 is used to demonstrate the providers available for OrthoDB. 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.
