# `map_rna_id` Bidirectional mapping between RNAcentral URS IDs and external database identifiers. Accepts either direction and returns the full set of cross-references that RNAcentral holds for the entry. ## Arguments | Name | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `identifier` | `str` | yes | A URS ID (`"URS0000759B6D"`) **or** an external accession (`"MIMAT0000062"`, `"ENSG00000228630"`, `"HGNC:31023"`, ...). | | `taxon` | `str` | no | Scientific name (preferred) or NCBI Taxonomy ID. Required to disambiguate when an external ID is shared across organisms. | ## Returns A markdown summary listing the canonical URS ID, the organism, and every known cross-reference grouped by source database. ## Examples - `identifier="MIMAT0000062", taxon="Homo sapiens"` — map a miRBase mature miRNA accession to its URS ID and all other xrefs. - `identifier="URS0000759B6D"` — list every external ID that points at this URS.
