How do I retrieve Entrez, Ensembl, VEGA, or other IDs for a list of genes?
Overview
Using the MGI Batch Query, you can enter a list or upload a file of official MGI gene/marker symbols, or gene, transcript, or sequence IDs from MGI, Ensembl, Entrez, Uniprot or other sources. You can choose to return gene symbols and names, genomic location, Gene Ontology or Mammalian Phenotype terms, MGI allele IDs, or IDs from other sources.
Accessing the MGI Batch Query
On most MGI pages, you can access the MGI Batch Query from the Search menu as shown in the image at right.

For this tutorial, open the Batch Query in a new window. Scroll down this page for further instructions.
