MaveDB accession numbers¶
MaveDB accession numbers use the URN (Uniform Resource Name) format. The accession numbers have a hierarchical structure that reflects the relationship between experiment sets, experiments, score sets, and individual variants in MaveDB.
All public accession numbers start with the string urn:mavedb: followed by the experiment set number
(eight digits, zero-padded).
Experiments are indexed by letter within the experiment set.
If necessary, aa, ab, etc. will follow z.
Score sets are indexed by number within the experiment.

Meta-analysis accession numbers¶
Meta-analysis score sets use the special 0 experiment instead of a letter.
Meta-analysis score sets that include data from a single experiment set will use that experiment set’s number.
For meta-analyses that use data from multiple experiment sets,
a new experiment set number will be assigned for all meta-analyses that include data from the same experiment sets.
These meta-analysis-only experiment sets will only contain the 0 experiment.
Temporary accession numbers¶
When first uploaded, records are given a temporary accession number starting with tmp:.
These temporary accessions are not structured according to the record type.
MaveDB URNs are created when the temporary records are made publicly viewable by publishing a score set.
