The phrase "a gene identifier for" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when referring to a specific identifier that is used to denote a particular gene in scientific or research contexts.
Example: "The study utilized a gene identifier for the BRCA1 gene to analyze its mutation frequency in the population."
Alternatives: "a gene marker for" or "a gene label for".
For instance, a gene identifier that uniquely describes each gene object is used to integrate genes from multiple data sets.
Co-citation analysis was performed using the Bioconductor [ 10] package org.Hs.eg.db [ 11] (version 3.1.2) and functions from the package CoCiteStats [ 12]. org.Hs.eg.db links a gene identifier to Pubmed identifiers [ 13] for the papers in Pubmed which cite the corresponding gene.
Summary of the gene identifier for each cell type is shown in a bar chart under the map.
Nucleotide sequences from the N domain exons can be used as gene identifier for the non-annotated genes (Additional File 4).
To obtain the most likely Ensembl gene identifier for each GenBank record, BLAT was used to map each GenBank sequence to Ensembl/EnsemblGenomes transcripts, keeping only the best matching gene ID.
The same operation is conducted for all genes related to diseases, resulting in a list of Entrez gene identifiers for each disease (additional file 3).
We found our needs were more closely met by NER systems designed to locate positions within the text detected as gene names (gene mention taggers) and to produce a list of unique gene identifiers for the gene and gene products tagged in the text (gene normalization) (4 6, 8).
To invoke the function, one needs to specify the observations, a vector of gene identifiers corresponding to the study set (e.g. the set of differentially expressed genes), and the gene sets, a list of vectors of gene identifiers for each of the GO terms (or other gene sets or categories) to be analyzed.
A complete list of Genbank gene identifiers for proteins investigated in this study is provided in the Additional file 1. Structure similarity searches were conducted using the DALIlite program [ 90] and structural alignments were generated by means of the MUSTANG program [ 91].
A complete list of Genbank gene identifiers for proteins investigated in this study is provided in the Additional file 1. TM segments were detected using the TMHMM version 2 program [ 156] and signal peptides and protein localization were predicted using the Phobius program [ 157].
