[ensembl-dev] difference between display id and stable id

[Will Spooner]

Hi Andrea,

The stable_id is the Ensembl-assigned ID, normally "ENS*", that is stored in the <object>_stable_id table. The display_id is the highest-proirity external reference (xref in the DB, DBEntry in the API) for the object.
