I was trying to run omics box for the transcriptome analysis, and generated the counts with name once and one more time with gene ID as the option. There is a huge difference in the number of genes. While generated from name i just got the counts for 8475 genes but with IDs i got 30k + genes with the counts.

Why there is such a huge difference?

I don't know omics box, so I'm not entirely sure what you is going on here, but one thing to bare in mind is that many genes do not have names, only IDs. This is particularly true for non-coding genes, but some coding genes also don't have names yet.
