How are the Entrez and Ensembl mappings determined? #47

Closed stuppie closed 5 years ago

I'm confused on how entrez and ensembl are merged. There are lots of genes with entrez and ensembl mapping that I can't find online. For example:

https://mygene.info/v3/gene/2576 (GAGE4) has "entrezgene": "2576" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene?cmd=retrieve&dopt=default&list_uids=2576) and "ensembl" "gene": "ENSG00000215269", (https://uswest.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/Gene/Summary?g=ENSG00000215269;r=X:49570434-49577754;t=ENST00000445148) "ensembl" "gene": "ENSG00000236362" (http://uswest.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/Gene/Summary?g=ENSG00000236362;r=X:49551278-49568218)

On the entrez page, I see a entrez link out to: ENSG00000215269 but not to ENSG00000236362. So how/why was ENSG00000236362 mapped to 2576?

Please let me know, Thanks!
