thanks for your feedback.</p>
<p>You are right, there are differences between TreeFam, Ensembl
Compara and HomoloGene, which are due to the different methodology
or taxon sampling.<br>
Also, we keep our families fixed TreeFam and whereas e.g. Compara
rebuild their families with every release. There are good arguments
for either approach.</p>
<p>At some time in the near future we will be looking into ways of
testing our families. We will then also cross-check our predictions
with e.g. Ensembl. That is a good idea.</p>
<p>Thanks again for your valuable feedback!<br>
I will close the ticket for now, as we have added your suggestions
to our todo list for the evaluation of our families</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>
Fabian</p></div>Fabian
