# Ensembl gene ID (`ensemblgeneid`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Stable identifier of a gene in Ensembl, the genome database of EMBL-EBI. It is "ENS", a three-letter species code (none for human, MUS for mouse, GAL for chicken), the feature letter G for gene and eleven digits. A version number may follow after a dot. Transcripts (T), proteins (P) and exons (E) use the same scheme with their own letter and are not covered here.

- Personal data (PII): no
- Categories: Scientific (science)
- Countries: global
- Languages: Common to most languages (common)
- Classification: identifier

## Detection

Regular expression (Python `re`):

```
^ENS(?:[A-Z]{3})?G\d{11}(?:\.\d+)?$
```

## Examples

- `ENSG00000196126` — HLA-DRB1, human
- `ENSMUSG00000018893` — Mb (myoglobin), mouse
- `ENSGALG00010022038` — GAPDH, chicken
- `ENST00000623907` (invalid example) — Ensembl transcript ID, not a gene ID
