The compara orthology build has been updated to include the new Opossum genome, and chimp dnafrag names have been changed to take account of the re-numbering of the Chimp chromosomes (see Chimp news for more information).

All variation databases now include the new consequence_type 'REGULATORY_REGION'.
Features which have accompanying Gene locations, e.g. some AffyProbes, now display a table of gene names and descriptions at the top of the view page. See an example....
The Chimp chromosome numbers have been changed to the new primate standard proposed by E.H.

The Tetraodon genome project is a collaboration between Genoscope and the Broad Institute (MIT). This Ensembl website presents sequence data and analyses provided by the two institutes.
The project was supported by the Consortium National de Recherche en Genomique and the National Human Genome Research Institute.
The genome assembly was performed using Arachne (Jaffe D.B. et. al. 2003. Gen. Res. 13, 91-96). This site presents version 7 of the assembly.
Genes were annotated by Genoscope, combining evidence from Geneid, Genscan, Genewise and Exofish predictions with alignments of Tetraodon cDNAs to the genome. This was done automatically using GAZE (Howe K., Chothia T. and Durbin R. 2002. Gen. Res. 12, 1418-27) with a custom-designed configuration and gene structure model.
The annotation also includes 87 manually curated structures of a number of HOX and Cytokine genes.
