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.

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.
In addition to official symbols and aliases, BioGPS supports most common
public gene identifiers, including Entrez Gene, Ensembl, Uniprot, Refseq, UniGene, Gene Ontology, PDB, and Interpro.
MyGene2 currently matches
on gene identifiers, with matching on phenotype, MIM number, and other data types planned.
The wheat genome's data can be searched via
the gene identifier in the text search box, or via the bioinformatics BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) to compare sequence matches.
Gene identifiers or gene IDs in VectorBase follow a similar format to the FlyBase Drosophila gene nomenclature.
