Pipeline for matching antibodies to gene identifiers. Antibodies were matched to corresponding gene symbols using MatchMiner or a combination of other resources if the symbol was not immediately retrievable with MatchMiner. The translation from symbol to LocusID was obtained from the Human Genome Nomenclature Committee (HGNC). LocusLink ftp -downloadable files provided UniGene Cluster Ids and RefSeqs. We then used the LocusID to join to the HGNC file, after which all identifiers could be mapped back to the antibody originally input into MatchMiner. The often-complex, many-to-many relationships between genes and antibodies are described in the text.
