[ensembl-dev] Converting mouse gene IDs to human

[Kieron Taylor]

Dear Eva,

The finding of equivalent IDs across species relies on one of two 
mechanisms. The Compara API offers homology (see Homologies and Protein 
clusters in [1]), and the core API "xrefs" allow you to match them via 
imported annotation.

If you just want to locate the original source of projected names from 
HGNC, you can use the fetch_all_by_external_name or 
fetch_all_by_external_names methods found in all FeatureAdaptors (e.g. 
GeneAdaptor) to do the job. The HGNC names are imported by us, hence 
they are considered external.
