MyGene Search

1. Call science_search_mygene with the supplied symbol, alias, or identifier and limit<=10.
2. Prefer exact human-symbol matches; retain every returned identifier and taxon instead of guessing among aliases.
3. Cross-check consequential mappings with $cx-ensembl-search or $cx-ncbi-gene-search.
4. Record query, returned IDs, access time, and source URL with $science-provenance.

Do not merge genes, isoforms, pseudogenes, or species solely by name similarity. A search hit is identifier evidence, not biological or clinical evidence.
