[ensembl-dev] Biomart scerevisiae_paralog_paralogy_confidence attribute missing?

[Matthieu Muffato]

Hi Greg

Indeed we don't compute the "high-confidence" flag on paralogues. Of 
what we do for orthologues, only the threshold on the percentage of 
sequence identity / coverage could apply to paralogues, but we haven't 
looked at identifying sensible thresholds.
