Dear Team, How to handle this issue? Thanks.

# from Human to Mouse
convertHumanGeneList <- function(x){

  library("biomaRt")
  human <- useMart("ensembl", dataset = "hsapiens_gene_ensembl")
  mouse <- useMart("ensembl", dataset = "mmusculus_gene_ensembl")

  genesV2 <- getLDS(attributes = c("hgnc_symbol"), filters = "hgnc_symbol", 
                    values = x , mart = human, attributesL = c("mgi_symbol"), martL = mouse, uniqueRows=T)

  humanx <- unique(genesV2[, 2])

  return(humanx)
}
