Hi,
nice to meet to you,
now i am planning to convert ENSG id into Gene Symbol based.
would you tell me how to do it ?
regards, thanks in advance !
biomaRt is easy to use. either the R package or the web site from Ensembl.
What have you tried? There must be dozens of questions like this.
As Assa wrote, indeed, BiomaRt is easy to use. I see you tagged org.hs.eg.db which is also rather straightforward.
If you show what you tried and what didn't work people can help you more specifically, you can't just ask for an entire explanation without showing some work from your own.

dear sir,
thank you so much for answer,
what i have tried is as below. i have used bioconductor package "org.Hs.eg.db"
my script;
tsquamous$symbol <- mapIds(org.Hs.eg.db, keys=row.names(tsquamous), column="SYMBOL", keytype="ENSEMBL", multiVals="first")Warning message:
In tsquamous$symbol <- mapIds(org.Hs.eg.db, keys = row.names(tsquamous), :
Coercing LHS to a list
but unfortunately, most of ENSG code is not matched well like below. below is the results of above code.
many "NA" remain.

Since you got some results it seems your code is valid. I did a quick check of some genes which yielded "NA", and it appears those are pseudogenes. Likely these were not included in org.Hs.eg.db. You'll probably be able to solve this using BioMart, which is available online from Ensembl (http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martview/) but also exists as an R package in case you want to automate the conversion (https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/biomaRt.html). For sure the website is straightforward to use.
thank you so much
