This example demonstrates a utility for translating human gene symbols into their mouse equivalents using the biomaRt package. It shows the conversion process, highlighting which genes fail to map and reporting the total count of untranslated genes. The function `convertHumanGeneList` queries Ensembl databases for human and mouse through `useMart` and `getLDS`, matching HGNC symbols to MGI symbols. It relies on the biomaRt API to retrieve cross-species annotations and prints diagnostic messages about translation success or failure.
