Relationships between the different identifiers. All relationships between identifiers that we have taken into account are displayed. The different identifiers are color coded according to which database they are taken from. The path taken from an identifier to another is always the shortest one. Red asterisk: To ensure that pregenerated information is as complete as possible, there are several paths to go from identifiers in the UniGene database to Ensembl Gene ID. The script first tries to map the Entrez Gene ID with an Ensembl Gene ID. If this fails, it tries with a UniGene Cluster ID, and finally with the HUGO name. Red diamond: Gene location is taken from either Ensembl or UCSC, or both, at user's wish.
