VICC normalization routines for genes
Project description
Gene Normalizer
Overview
The Gene Normalizer provides tools for resolving ambiguous human gene references to consistently-structured, normalized terms. For gene concepts extracted from NCBI Gene, Ensembl, and HGNC, it designates a CURIE, and provides additional metadata like current and previously-used symbols, aliases, database cross-references and associations, and coordinates.

Install
The Gene Normalizer is available on PyPI:
python3 -m pip install gene-normalizer
See installation instruction in the documentation for a description of installation options and data setup requirements.
Examples
Use the live service to programmatically normalize gene terms, as in the following truncated example:
$ curl 'https://normalize.cancervariants.org/gene/normalize?q=BRAF' | python -m json.tool
{
"query": "BRAF",
"match_type": 100,
"normalized_id": "hgnc:1097",
"gene": {
"type": "Gene",
"id": "normalize.gene.hgnc:1097"
"label": "BRAF",
"gene_id": "hgnc:1097",
"aliases": [
"BRAF1",
"B-RAF1",
"NS7",
"RAFB1",
"B-raf",
"BRAF-1"
]
}
# ...
}
Or utilize the Python API for fast access:
>>> from gene.database import create_db
>>> from gene.query import QueryHandler
>>> q = QueryHandler(create_db())
>>> result = q.normalize("KRAS")
>>> result.normalized_id
'hgnc:6407'
See the usage and normalization entries in the documentation for more.
