    value - the Pattern to look for.

    Parameters:
    
    id - to compare with registered patterns
    
    Returns:
    
    set of patterns which matches the given id.
  - getPatterns
```
public static Map<DataSource,Pattern> getPatterns()
```
    Returns:
    
    all known data patterns, mapped to their BioDataSource. For example, this map will contain:
    BioDataSource.ENSEMBL_HUMAN -> Pattern.compile("ENSG\d+")
    
    There is not guaranteed to be a Pattern for every BioDataSource constant.
