GeneToList

GeneToList converts gene identifiers and matches gene aliases across databases to standardize gene nomenclature for genomic analyses.

Key Features:

• Gene ID conversion and alias matching: Converts gene identifiers and matches aliases across databases to resolve nomenclature discrepancies.
• Taxonomic coverage: Supports over 38,000 taxa by leveraging data from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gene resource.
• Supported identifier types: Maps among NCBI Gene Symbols, NCBI Gene IDs (Entrez IDs), OMIM IDs, HGNC IDs, Ensembl IDs, and 28 additional taxa-specific identifiers.
• Conversion performance: Successfully converted all tested identifiers, including those recognized as aliases, in comparative evaluations.

Scientific Applications:

• Data integration: Enables integration of datasets from diverse sources by standardizing gene identifiers.
• Literature reconciliation: Facilitates reconciliation of outdated or varied gene names encountered in scientific literature.
• Translational research: Provides consistent gene identifiers to support studies that bridge basic research and clinical applications.

Methodology:

Mapping uses data from the NCBI Gene resource to link identifiers and aliases across the listed identifier namespaces.
