But sometimes you want to check what aliases there are in mouse. If you search for BRCA2 and click on a search result, for example for [1448542_at](http://genenetwork.org/show_trait?trait_id=1448542_at&dataset=HC_M2_0606_P), +you get to the 'trait page' which shows the aliases: + +<p align="center"> + <img src="gene-aliases.png" alt="Gene aliases"/> +</p> + +GeneNetwork ignores case by default. In a search use quotes to search case sensitive. For example, [BRCA2](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17853272) on wikidata.org refers to the human gene.
