Hi Alex, You could use the biomaRt package for this, here the code to do it: >library(biomaRt) >ensembl=useMart("ensembl",dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl") >map = getBM(c("hgnc_symbol","entrezgene"), filters=c("hgnc_symbol","with_entrezgene"), values=list(c("Btk","Casp8"),TRUE), mart=ensembl) it should give: >unique(map) hgnc_symbol entrezgene 1 CASP8 841 6 BTK 695 Cheers, Steffen Alex Tsoi wrote: > Dear all, > > I have a list of gene symbols (eg.

Hi, Alex, You can parse ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA/gene_info.gz There are 4 useful columns: tax_id (column 1), GeneID (column 2), Symbol (column 3), and Synonyms (column 5). You can: 1 Read in the file 2 filter it based on tax_id 3 match your gene symboles to the "Symbol" column and find their Gene ID 4 removed the matched gene symboles from your list 5 match the rest of gene symboles to the "Synonyms" column and find their Gene ID hope this helps nianhua Nianhua Li Software Developer
