Understanding life cannot be accomplished without making full use of biological data, which are scattered across databases of diverse categories in life sciences. To connect such data seamlessly, identifier (ID) conversion plays a key role. However, existing ID conversion services have disadvantages, such as covering only a limited range of biological categories of databases, not keeping up with the updates of the original databases and outputs being hard to interpret in the context of biological relations, especially when converting IDs in multiple steps.
