<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Cochin;mso-ligatures:standard">Last year on this very list, I was advised to use '</span><span style="font-family:Cochin">fetch_by_display_label' in the perl API in order to retrieve
genes via their HGNC or similar name. Now, with more recent versions of the API, I note that some genes have duplicate entries: one starting with 'ENSG' and one with 'LRG_'. These IDs appear to be synonyms with respect to the gene adaptor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Cochin"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Cochin">Firstly, what are these LRG entries and, secondly, how do I regain the one-to-one mapping of gene names to ensemble IDs?
