How to convert gene names to gene symbols in R?
Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don’t. There are many ways to convert gene accession numbers or ids to gene symbols or other types of ids in R and several R/Bioconductor packages to facilitate this process including the AnnotationDbi, annotate, and biomaRt packages.
How to convert gene names in your with annotationdbi?

How to get Entrez ID for a gene?
The mapIds () function from the AnnotationDbi package returns a named vector making it simple to retrieve entrez id for a given gene as follows: We can create a function to return a matrix with gene symbols instead of entrez ids as follows:
How to return matrix with Gene symbols instead of Entrez IDs?
We can create a function to return a matrix with gene symbols instead of entrez ids as follows: We can generalize this function to go back and forth between gene symbols and entrez ids (or other ids) as follows:
How to convert gene names in are with annotationdbi?
You could potentially modify this code to work with other species such as mice with the org.Mm.eg.db package. For example, say we have a gene expression matrix stored in M1 created from an eset object you downloaded from GEO.
How to convert gene identifiers to gene annotables?
Lists of genes near ChIP-seq peaks, lists of genes closest to a GWAS hit, lists of differentially expressed genes or transcripts from an RNA-seq experiment, lists of genes involved in certain pathways, etc. And lots of times I’ll need to convert these gene IDs from one identifier to another.

How to make a gene ID conversion tool?
Do More… The tool was made possible with the help of mygene.info API. Please visit mygene.info/v2/api/ for bulk queries. Also you can download python package from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mygene .
Where can I find all human gene symbols?
All approved human gene symbols can be found in the online HGNC database 6 ( https://www.genenames.org/ ). The philosophy of the HGNC used to be that gene nomenclature should evolve with new technology and that symbol changes, if supported by most researchers working on a gene, would be considered if they reflected new functional information.
What are the rules for naming a gene?
1 Each gene is assigned a unique symbol, HGNC ID and descriptive name. 2 Symbols contain only uppercase Latin letters and Arabic numerals. 3 Symbols should not be the same as commonly used abbreviations. 4 Nomenclature should not contain references to any species or ‘G’ for gene. 5 Nomenclature should not be offensive or pejorative.
