BridgeDb tutorial: Gene HGNC name to Ensembl identifier

This tutorial explains how to use the BridgeDb identifier mapping service to translate HGNC names to Ensembl identifiers. This step is part of the OpenRiskNet use case to link Adverse Outcome Pathways to WikiPathways.

First we need to load the Python library to allow calls to the BridgeDb REST webservice:

Description: SSP-based RCP scenario with high radiative forcing by the end of century. Following approximately RCP8.5 global forcing pathway with SSP5 socioeconomic conditions. Concentration-driven. Rationale: the scenario represents the high end of plausible future pathways. SSP5 is the only SSP with emissions high enough to produce the 8.5 W/m2 level of forcing in 2100.

This workflow is answering to the following scientific question:
