    This allows me to filter unwanted results out. I can ignore entries
    with different IDs.<br>
    This approach seems to be working perfectly. Also my understanding
    for the usage of feature=... was a bit wrong.<br>

      Hi Saren,<br>
      <br>
      The feature look up will return all features of the given object
      type that overlap your queried region.<br>
      <br>
      In your example, the region is the input gene and two transcripts
      overlap this region.<br>
      <br>
      To retrieve the gene linked to a transcript, I would recommend
      using 'feature=transcript' instead<br>
      Among the fields returned, there is a 'Parent' field that will
      specify which gene the transcript belongs to.<br>

        <br>
        My idea, when I first ran into this problem was to use
        logic_name as an indicator, as this problem is even more
        frequent with ncrna, etc. However both results here have same
        logic_name.<br>
        Correct results would be "according to my dataset" the second
        one. Am I using a wrong approach here or should I include more
        parameters in my query?<br>
        <br>
        As an example here are more queries with multiple results:<br>
