Hi Mattieu - good to have you on board!

Mungo (cc'ed) is currently working on an Ensembl gene importer. At some point 
soon he'll be downloading alignments from Compara - but before that, we're just 
trying to make sure we have the Genome->Transcript(s)->Product(s) mappings 
correct for all cases.

I seem to remember at some point in a conversation with someone related with 
Ensembl (perhaps Mark McDowall, but could easily have been Dan Bolser) that 
before every ensembl release, some of the particularly difficult gene models 
were checked to make sure that they were being handled correctly by the system. 
Of course - I could also have imagined this :)

Do you have a list of 'problem' genes where the architecture is complex and/or 
diverse ?  I suppose we could hunt for these ourselves but if you have some 
examples handy that would be great!

Jim.
