Overview and comparison of ortholog databases.

Orthologs are an indispensable bridge to transfer biological knowledge between species, from protein annotations to sophisticated disease models. However, orthology assignment is not trivial. A large number of resources now exist, each with its own idiosyncrasies. The goal of this review is to compare their contents and clarify which database is most suited for a certain task.:
