Ensembl Lookup Gene By Symbol
Look up Ensembl gene IDs for a gene symbol across external databases. Given a gene symbol (e.g., 'TP53'), returns all matching Ensembl gene and transcript IDs. Useful for converting gene symbols to Ensembl stable identifiers for use with other Ensembl APIs. Example: symbol 'TP53' in human returns ENSG00000141510 (gene) and related transcript/translation IDs; 'BRCA1' returns ENSG00000012048.
