[ensembl-dev] Gene Symbol

Hi!

I'm trying to retrieve the chromosomal position for a list of
gene-symbols. They are all official gene-symbols.

Using a loop like this

    foreach my $gene
(@{$gene_adaptor->fetch_all_by_external_name($gene_symbol)}) {

I get one correct hit for some genes (e.g. USP8), but for others like
CLK2, I get multiple results and have no idea how to select the correct
one. Is there a way to just get position of just the official gene symbol?

Thanks!
