[ensembl-dev] Annotation discrepancy

[Oliver, Gavin]

Hi all, 

 

I have been using Ensembl human for internal annotation of microarrays.

 

Yesterday someone did a search for Entrez Gene ID 3336 in our database.
It returned no hits.  

 

When they searched with the Gene symbol for this ID (HSPE1), they got 5
hits but the Entrez ID associated with the gene was 100132346 (and not
3336 as would be expected).

 

I ran a search for 100132346 against the Ensembl genome browser and it
brings back 2 genes on 2 different chromosomes.

 

Can someone explain what might be happening here?

 

Best, 

 

Gavin
