Please add an endpoint to the API that accepts a partial or full gene symbol and returns the top 20 hits.

/search/gene/symbol/{symbol} - Where {symbol} is either a partial or full gene symbol.

The result should be the fields of the corresponding rows of the top 20 matching records from Gene_Information.tsv in JSON format. The input should be matched on column 3 of this file (case insensitive). It should also accept an optional parameter for species that is in the form of the taxonomy id. This would then be used to filter the results further based on column 2 of this file.

e.g.
Typing in kra would return the rows for

"KRASP1"
"KRAS"
"PRKRA"
"Kras"
"Prkra"
"Kras"
"kraken"
"kra"
"ANKRA2"
"Ankra2"
"Kras2-rs1"
"Kras2-rs2"
"Kras1-ps"
"Ankra2"
"Prkra"
"ankra2"
"kras"
"ankra2"
"kras"
"prkra"
