Details

Some aliases map to multiple gene symbols. There are a couple of different cases, which are dealt with differently:

1. A gene alias maps to multiple gene symbols including itself: Remove mappings to other symbols.

2. A gene alias maps to multiple gene symbols not including itself: Remove this alias.
