species

List the species with available human orthologs.

Genomic analysis of model organisms frequently requires the
use of databases based on human data or making comparisons to
patient-derived resources. This requires harmonization of gene names
into the same gene space. The 'babelgene' R package converts between
human and non-human gene orthologs/homologs. The package integrates
orthology assertion predictions sourced from multiple databases as
compiled by the HGNC Comparison of Orthology Predictions (HCOP)
(Wright et al. 2005 <doi:10.1007/s00335-005-0103-2>, Eyre et al. 2007
<doi:10.1093/bib/bbl030>, Seal et al. 2011 <doi:10.1093/nar/gkq892>).
