Ensembl Ids To Gene Name Conversion

Question

[jill.mckay]

I have an extensive list of Ensembl Ids that I need to convert to genes names and wondered if anyone knows any web based software to do this quickly?

[Rubal7]

The website linked below, 'gene ID converter' is also a fast and straightforward way to do this. Though I would agree with Alastair that Biomart is the gold standard for this task. http://idconverter.bioinfo.cnio.es/

[MarcinKosinski]

These applications are no longer working

[liangj]

both those links don't work now. You can try your luck with mygene or DAVID, but I'm having problem with things starting with ENSMUSP

Answer 1

[Alastair Kerr]

Use Biomart from the Ensembl site. 'Filter' your query based on your Ensembl ids make sure the Gene name is checked under the 'Attributes'.

or

Click on id mapping from Uniprot and download the link 'UniProtKB'

[Zhilong Jia]

Just update the ensembl url.

Answer 2

An other choice is The Synergizer repository of gene and protein identifier synonym relationships created by the Roth Laboratory.

Answer 3

[Michi]

I recommend you the ID converter from Biomart Central:

http://central.biomart.org/

It is similar to Alistair's proposition, but a bit less effort.

Can any one tell me how to convert the gene names to ENSEMBLE ID's? I have the gene names as output for my cuffdiff results and I want to convert them to ENSEMBLE ID, but am confused chosing the attributes in the biomart webiste. Can anyone tell me what should be the parameters?
