Hi,
I want to use biomart to get hgnc gene symbol from entrez id
I use biomart version 0.7 portal
Database: ENSEMBL GENES 67 (SANGER UK)
Dataset: Homo sapiens (GRCh37.p7)
EntrezGene ID: 571
I get two hgnc symbol for entrez id 571: BACH1
<http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?match=BACH1>(http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?match=BACH1)
and BACH1-IT1
<http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?match=BACH1-IT1>(http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?match=BACH1-IT1)
However, for BACH1-IT1, these is no evidence indicating that its
entrez id is 571 on the hgnc official web site
(http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?match=BACH1-IT1).
Furthermore, from genome browser (I use ucsc), I find that BACH1
<http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?match=BACH1> and BACH1-IT1
<http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?match=BACH1-IT1> are
totally different gene with no overlapping.
Why biomart map BACH1-IT1
<http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?match=BACH1-IT1> to
entrezid 571?
Thanks
Kind regards,
xiaoqiao
