Some ncRNAs don't have ensembl field, but apparently they do have ensembl ids. #8

I do not know whether this is a desired feature? https://mygene.info/v3/gene/7012?fields=all has no ensembl field, but it does have an ensembl id: ENSG00000270141 And these 'genes' lack hg38 coordinates as well.

Hi @logust79, Ensembl gene ENSG00000270141 and NCBI EntrezGene 7012 do look like the same gene, but unfortunately, they are not mapped to each other based on Ensembl. This can be verified from Ensembl's BioMart interface, click this link (make sure to hit the "results" button to execute the query). Because of that, these two are considered two different genes from MyGene.info as well:

https://mygene.info/v3/gene/7012

https://mygene.info/v3/gene/ENSG00000270141

If later, Ensembl decides to map these two genes with each other, these two gene objects will be merged in MyGene.info as well.

Thanks for your explanation.
