How to link to Rfam?

Note

All links to Rfam should use the rfam.org domain. Please update any links referring to the rfam.xfam.org domain.

Here are some examples of linking to Rfam:

• Using Rfam accession (recommended):
  • http://rfam.org/family/RF00360
  • http://rfam.org/family?acc=RF00360
• Using Rfam ID:
  • http://rfam.org/family/snoZ107_R87
  • http://rfam.org/family?id=snoZ107_R87

Warning

Rfam accession numbers are more stable between releases than IDs. We strongly recommend that you link by Rfam accession (e.g. RF00360).

• Using “entry”:

  You can also refer to a family by entry, although this is a convenience that should be used only if you’re not sure if what you have is an accession or an ID.

  • http://rfam.org/family?entry=RF00360 or
  • http://rfam.org/family?entry=snoZ107_R87
