FIG ID

From NMPDR Wiki

Every gene in the NMPDR database has a unique FIG ID. You can tell a lot about a gene just from information encoded into the FIG ID. The FIG ID has four parts, as shown in the diagram below.

  • The prefix identifies the fact that this is a FIG ID, as opposed to an alias.
  • The genome ID is the taxon number and version of the genome containing the gene. In the example above, this is 100226.1, which indicates that the gene is from version 1 of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).
  • The gene type indicates the type of gene. The most common type is peg, which means the gene is used to create a protein. Other types include rna for RNA, pi for a pathogenicity island, and opr for an operon.
  • The ID number makes the FIG ID unique to a specific gene.
