Gene name duplications #196

Open Leonhard2000 opened 1 week ago

Leonhard2000 commented 1 week ago

How does CPDB handle counts files where the same gene name appears more than once? e.g. ENSG00000000003 ENSG00000268895 ENSG00000175899 ENSG00000000003

Is the value of the first entry used or mean, sum, highest value?

This often appears with non_human data because several mice genes can have the same human orthologous gene. Or should I make sure that my data has no gene name duplications?
