Gene Expression Disambiguation

[niknak33]

Will break it down into separate issues:

• Cell Guide
• Diff Exp (API: https://api.cellxgene.cziscience.com/de/v1/differentialExpression)
• Gene Expression + Gene Info panel for ensemble id lookup
• Explorer uses symbol as index
  • We could just suffix ensemble id in cxg conversion script to always have {symbol}_{id} - and FE will chop the string to use them where needed
  • Reprocess all cxg files
  • Recompute cubes - automatically does it already
  • Update gene info call to use id instead of symbol

Hey @kaloster ! @niknak33 was asking if you happened to start working on this already. My impression is that it's not touched yet, but just wanted to double check lol Thank you!

I've done some discovery work on this when it came up but haven't started implementing any changes as of yet
