What problem does it solve?
This Skill resolves the ambiguity of human gene nomenclature by providing a standardized, authoritative mapping between gene symbols, HGNC IDs, and various cross-references like Ensembl and UniProt.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Standardized Mapping: Instantly convert legacy gene symbols, aliases, or previous symbols into current, approved HGNC identifiers.
- Cross-Resource Integration: Seamlessly join disparate omics datasets by using the HGNC ID as a canonical hub for Ensembl, Entrez, and UniProt identifiers.
- Use Case: When analyzing a multi-omics dataset where some variants are labeled with legacy symbols and others with Ensembl IDs, use this Skill to normalize all entries to a single, consistent HGNC ID for downstream analysis.
Quick Start
Use the hgnc skill to resolve the current approved gene symbol for the legacy identifier BRCA1-A.
