Research direction

Start in src/atldld/utils.py at the get_experiment_list_from_gene function referenced near line 205. Compare its current matching behavior with the case-insensitive web interface; done means gene searches return the same results regardless of letter case.

The motivation behind making the search case insensitive is that the web interface is also case insensitive. http://mouse.brain-map.org/
