The difference between input gene symbol name and geneID

[lxy04]

Hi,
we know that a geneName may map different geneID(ensemble ), when we use clusterprofiler, the input always geneID, but gseapy is symbol name, I want to know how it effect the go(enrichr) result.

Thanks!

enrichr required gene symbol as input. geneID won't work for enrichr.

You can use geneID, as long as your gmt file are all geneIDs, too.
