Stable Ensembl ID

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’d like to use your library but I’m getting endless errors for retired ENSG ids. How should I proceed when I get errors like this one?

ensembl.gene_name_of_gene_id(“ENSG00000129277”)

“”" ValueError: No results found for query:

        SELECT distinct gene_name
        FROM gene
        WHERE gene_id = ?

with parameters: [‘ENSG00000129277’] “”"

Thanks!

It seems that ENSG00000129277 hasn’t been in Ensembl since the switch from GRCh37 to GRCh38, maybe you should be using EnsemblRelease(75)?

Hi @erichu8,

What would you like pyensembl to do with retired IDs? If the gene doesn’t exist in the database then I’m not sure what should be returned.
