[ensembl-dev] [Compara] V. 59: GenomeDB->name now returns names in different format

[Giuseppe Gallone]

Hi,

I just installed the API V.59 and found out that now a call to 
GenomeDB->name will return species names in the

homo_sapiens

format, rather than

Homo sapiens

format, like before. Is this a change that's here to stay or do you plan 
to review it? Just asking because I had some code checking all the 
genomes by the full name. Should I check the genomes by the NCBI taxon 
id instead (maybe more likely not to change)?

Thanks
Giuseppe
