Converting mouse gene names to the human equivalent and vice versa is not always as straightforward as it seems, so I wrote a function to simplify the task. The function takes advantage of the getLDS() function from the biomaRt to get the hgnc symbol equivalent from the mgi symbol. For example, let’s convert the following mouse gene symbols, Hmmr, Tlx3, and Cpeb4, to their human equivalent.
