## Internal function for obtaining biomaRt mapping

### Description

Internal function for obtaining biomaRt mapping

### Usage

    get_biomart_mapping(species, symbol_name, dir_save, verbose)

### Arguments

`species` | The species to obtain a biomart dataset for. This should be an output from `format_species_name`.
`symbol_name` | The type of gene symbol to use. HGNC symbols are used by default (hgnc_symbol), unless `species` is "mmusculus", in which case MGI symbols are used (mgi_symbol).
`dir_save` | The directory to store annotation reference. Future calls to this function will use the stored annotations. This speeds up the operation and allows for reproducibility in the event that the `biomaRt` database is updated. Set to NULL to disable. By default, it uses a temporary directory to store files during the R session.
`verbose` | Set to FALSE to avoid messages.

### Value

A data frame containing a mapping between entrezgene IDs and gene symbols.
