convert Gene ID to Gene Symbol

Question

[majorprogeria]

Can anyone suggest how can I change Gene Id to Gene symbol in a csv file of a dataset of rna seq

Always show examples of ID's (and include the source/genome) when asking questions about them. Otherwise there is no way to find out what you are working with.

That said, if these came out of a GTF file there may be a different field that may contain the Gene Symbols you need.

this one of the example

"customerID
# uniSp.2
# uniSp.4
# uniSp.5
hsa-let-7a-3p
hsa-let-7a-5p
hsa-let-7b-3p" 

and another one is this

"GeneID
100287102
653635
102466751
107985730
100302278
645520"

Using EntrezDirect (LINK) you can look these up at NCBI:

$ esearch -db gene -query "hsa-let-7a-3p" | esummary | xtract -pattern DocumentSummary -element Id,NomenclatureSymbol 
406881  MIRLET7A1
406883  MIRLET7A3

and

$ esearch -db gene -query "653635" | esummary | xtract -pattern DocumentSummary -element Id,NomenclatureSymbol            
653635  WASH7P

Not sure what the first part about Customer ID is but the second set appears to be Entrez ID's.
