[ensembl-dev] HomologyAdaptor - function not working

[Javier Herrero]

Hi Marc

It is likely that you are using a protein member instead of a gene 
member. The homologies are defined at the gene level although we use 
proteins in reality to get the gene trees.

We should probably support using protein members in the HomologyAdaptor, 
we will look into this for future releases of the API.

I hope this helps
