…nd HGNC Group IDs. As a consequence of #190, more mapping file were needed that partly repeated mechanisms that were already present for NCBI Gene IDs. Instead of adding more and more files, the NCBI Gene ID files were generalized to include FamPlex and HGNC Group IDs. However, HGNC Group IDs are just numbers which collides with the NCBI Gene IDs. To avoid this, FamPlex and HGNC Group IDs are now source-prefixed. This needed more handling but seems to fit now.

Using the concept IDs obscured the original IDs which we need for the table view and Excel download. Thus, the original IDs needed to be retrieved from Neo4j which takes a long time for large results. Instead, we now index the original ID with a prefix to differentiate HGNC group IDs - which are numbers - from NCBI Gene IDs - also numbers - and map them to concept IDs, preferred names etc. just like the genes. This way, the index contains the (prefixed) original ID and the concept ID.
