GeneNetwork knows about aliases. 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),

+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. The mouse gene is named [Brca2](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14864738).
