Currently, gene aliases retrieval relies on querying the outdated GN3 Rest Server written in Racket:
For example, using CURL:
curl https://genenetwork.org/gn3/gene/aliases/Nr3c1
Notable, the same request fails in CD:
curl https://cd.genenetwork.org/gn3/gene/aliases/Nr3c1
The issue arises from the old, unmaintained service running on tux01 with the following Nginx configuration:
location /gn3 {
rewrite /gn3/(.*) /$1 break;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
The suggested action is to migrate this setup to the GNU Guile codebase for improved maintenance and compatibility.
