converting gene symbol to gene ID in bioDBnet

Hi,

I am using bioDBnet (https://biodbnet-abcc.ncifcrf.gov/db/db2db.php) to convert gene symbol to Gene id but in converting , i get near 100 IDs only for one symbol. How can i found one to one conversion in a web server ?

Thanks

By default, bioDBnet will return Gene ID's for all species that match the gene symbol. You can restrict the results and get one to one conversions for most symbols by specifying the taxon id in the db2db page

share a R script to do that: 

library("org.Hs.eg.db")
symbol <- as.list(org.Hs.egALIAS2EG)
symbol2geneid<-data.frame(names(symbol),as.character(symbol))

Does this R script use bioDBnet? If not, it's not a relevant answer. Please delete it - do not spam your answers.
