[Genome] question about ortholog genes

[Rachel Harte]

Dear Ying Sheng,

The section of "Homologous Genes in Other Species" would be helpful in
finding orthologs. The tables for each of these consist of the assembly
name without the number e.g. mm for mouse, followed by BlastTab so
mmBlastTab is the table of best BlastP hits for the protein sequences for
mouse known genes (query) against the protein sequences for human known
genes (target).
The tables can be obtained from our downloads server ("Downloads" link
on the blue side bar of the home page) or the Table Browser ("Tables"
link on the top blue bar of many of the Genome Browser pages.

The kgXref table may also be useful to you because this contains the human
gene names for the Known Genes as well as other identifiers relating to
each known gene.

For more information, please read this answer to a similar question:

I hope that this helps you. Please let us know if you have further questions.
