acidgenomes.map_gene_names_to_ncbi(genes: list[str], organism: str, *, taxonomic_group: str | None = None, ignore_case: bool = False, ncbi: NcbiGeneInfo | None = None) → list[int]

Map gene names to NCBI (Entrez) gene identifiers.

Parameters:

  • genes (list[str]) – Gene names (symbols) to map.

  • organism (str) – Latin organism name.

  • taxonomic_group (str or None) – NCBI FTP taxonomic group. Auto-detected if None.

  • ignore_case (bool) – Match case-insensitively.

  • ncbi (NcbiGeneInfo or None) – NCBI gene info reference dataset. Downloaded via make_ncbi_gene_info() if None.

Returns:

NCBI (Entrez) gene identifiers, in the same order as genes.

Return type:

list[int]
