For each homologous gene found in another species genome the following information is provided:

* Common name: Domestic guinea pig
* Scientific name: Cavia porcellus
* % protein similarity: The percentage of identical amino acid residues aligned against each other.
* % coverage: The percent of query which is in local alignment with the respective reference.
* Gene symbol: Gene symbol for homologues in each species - these may vary between species .
* Gene ID: the Ensembl ID - ENSG eg ENSCPOG00000005153.4.
* Hit type: The type of homology: RBBH: reciprocal best blast hit, BBH: best blast hit.
* Assembly: Genome assembly.

### Customising the table

You can reorder the table by sorting on a specific column. To sort the content of a column click on the arrow next to the column heading.

Sorting a specific column will in turn reorganise the information in all other columns of the table.

You can also customise the table by hiding unwanted rows and columns by selecting the appropriate option in the Action dropdown at the top left of the homology table.

You can download both a customised or uncustomised version of the table selecting the download option in the Action dropdown.
