- Search with `q` or `symbol` first; use `id` only when you already have an NCBI Gene id.
- `q` — words in the gene symbol, name, or summary.
- `symbol` — optional. Official gene symbol, such as `INS`.
- `id` — optional. NCBI Gene id from a result (`geneId`), such as `3630`.
- `species` — optional. Species for words/symbol search. Default `human`.
- `limit` — optional. From 1 to 20. Default 10.
