HGNC Symbol URIs do not redirect properly #239

Closed mjostaszewski closed 6 months ago

mjostaszewski commented 6 months ago

Resolution of an HGNC Symbol is incorrect, as genenames.org changed the way they reference their entries.

In the registered entry:
https://registry.identifiers.org/registry/hgnc.symbol

the URL pattern https://www.genenames.org/cgi-bin/gene_symbol_report?match={$id} is not valid anymore.

For instance, for a gene MPSR16 the URL

https://www.genenames.org/cgi-bin/gene_symbol_report?match=MPSR16

is leading to an 404.

The correct URL pattern seems to be:
'https://www.genenames.org/data/gene-symbol-report/#!/symbol/{$id}'
as
https://www.genenames.org/data/gene-symbol-report/#!/symbol/MRPS16
works

Checks out. I made the change. Thank you for bringing this up to us.
