Human ENSEMBL ID rather than gene symbols? #164

Open nprashant2001 opened 4 months ago

My dataset is annotated with human ENSEMBL IDs rather than gene symbols. I see in the human database, you have annotated gene symbols with ENSEMBL IDs.

Is it possible to use ENSEMBL IDs with CellChat?

@nprashant2001 No. You should take an input of data with gene symbols because all L-R pairs are given by gene names. You can easily make a conversion using existing bioinformatics tools.
