Gene identifiers are unique codes or labels given to specific genes. These identifiers help scientists and researchers identify and study particular genes in various organisms. Full definition
For instance, our «activity centers» analysis requires translation from protein or gene identifiers in a pathway database to Affymetrix probe set identifiers or other gene expression array platform identifiers. (baderlab.org)
