Hi everyone
I ask you about gene identifier.
I know that NCBI provide several gene identifier e.g. Entrez gene symbol, Entrez gene ID, Unigene, Official gene and so, but I don't know proper use of them.
Entrez gene symbol (e.g. POU5F1)
Unigene (Hs.249184)
First question:
I don't know what does NCBI call "Entrez gene symbol"
I think that "Entrez gene symbol" is not official name, because I could not find the document provided by NCBI containing "Entrez gene symbol".
Second question:
I want a file containing "Entrez gene symbol" and any identifier e.g. refseq ID (NM_****)
If I have the files, Mostly I can convert certain identifier to Entrez gene symbol via any identifier
I hope you answer two questions.
Best regards,
