Dear Arek,
Please excuse me for contacting you directly instead of through the
mailing list (I am not sure where to send my e-mail).
Could you tell me what criteria are used to link genes 2 genomes (for
example human and mouse)? I guess homology, but I have not yet found
the algorithm or database used.
Martjin,
You can start to have a look here for more information :

Hope this helps,

Hi Martijn,
Yes you are right. In Ensembl homology is used to link two genomes.
This is computed by Ensembl compara team.
I have cc'ed this email (with slightly changed subject line)
to mart-dev so they can pick up this email and explain more
a.
Kind regards,
Martijn
