[ensembl-dev] Choosing which protein to do ortholog compare

Is there any step in the Compara system that can check the
UniProt-SwissProt (manual curation of the longest ORF) against the CCDS
and or what you select for the Ortholgue assignments ?

Yours, Chris

Dear Dick

We generally use the longest protein, but we favour the CCDS entries. In
the 
case of Adamts9 gene, the longest protein product is not part of the
CCDS 
while the second longest is. In those case, we choose the CCDS entry.

I hope this helps

Javier
