Geneslator, a tool for accurate gene name conversion


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

Geneslator is a comprehensive R package that performs gene identifier conversion and ortholog mapping. The tool integrates multiple cross-organism databases (NCBI, Ensembl, UniProt, GO, KEGG, Reactome, Wikipathways) and organism-specific resources within a single, coherent framework. Geneslator currently supports the following organisms: human, mouse, rat, yeast, worm, fly, zebrafish and arabidopsis.
