[ensembl-dev] REST API: Missing external_name

[Brandon Walts]

Dear Cinzia

We have identified an issue with the external name cross references in 
the release 94 otherfeatures database. We will provide an update once we 
have a better idea of how this issue should be resolved. In the 
meantime, we suggest you use the release 93 (dec2017) database to get 
external names for RefSeq import genes.

Best regards
