Human gene symbols are written in all uppercase letters but for instance, only
the first letter is capitalized for mouse genes. If we accept all kinds of
input and convert them into uppercase letters, this may result in misleading
query results. For example, user can query "Per1" believing that the result
will be based on the mouse gene whereas we will be returning human gene's
result. To prevent confusions like these, in my opininon it is safer to
continue with the current state.

Can others think of a way to improve the current way we take input? I know
Arman implemented some validation mechanism for gene sets for the portal,
perhaps he has something to say?

Not all human gene symbols are upper case. For instance
[http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?hgnc_id=28678 C10orf107].

We are somewhat lucky on the portal side, since it is only and only human
centric. So the gene name matching does not have to deal with the upper/lower
case issues at all -- we convert all names to upper case, both on the query and
the database side and match accordingly. Maybe we can make the same assumption
since the gene->id mapping comes already from HGNC?
