No gene name

Hello all,

I have used deseq for my data analysis on RNA seq and got a differential gene expression data on the corresponding ensembl ids, but then I used biomart to get the gene names, but some spaces are left blank for few ensembl ids, do all ensembl ids have their corresponding genes? when I searched for that ensembl id in internet also it shows no satisfactory result. What can be done in this case?

ensembl biomart gene_name deseq2

Do you mean HGNC gene symbols?

Can you share a few examples of ENSG entries with no HGNC symbols please?

ENSMUSG00000134655.1 ENSMUSG00000135994.1 ENSMUSG00000138963.1 Here are few examples of the ids that i didnt get any gene name. These are for mouse genome by the way.

Those are all long, non-coding RNA genes. Presumably they are computationally predicted, and likely there has not been enough work experimentally to provide more information about their functional effects. At the moment at least, there are no gene symbols associated with these genes.
