Description

Looks like it happens between genes created in `_get_gene_info()` and `_get_gene_gff()`. Using concept ID (instead of symbol) as a key on line 265 of the importer might fix this.

Research direction

Start with the importer around line 265 and trace how _get_gene_info() and _get_gene_gff() create records. Use the linked gist to reproduce the redundant gene records and verify that processing the listed genes no longer creates duplicates.
