Downloading HomoloGene Data

The sequences in any HomoloGene entry can be downloaded in FASTA format by clicking on the Download link that appears to the far right of the entry title.

The user can choose to download protein, mRNA, or genomic sequences by choosing the corresponding option from the pop-up menu on the downloader form. In the case of genomic sequences, the user can optionally specify upstream and/or downstream regions to be included in the sequence. The upstream/downstream values can be specified as either positive or negative numbers; only absolute values are considered. Please note that if the specified upstream/downstream values go off the contig boundary, these values are adjusted automatically and the actual length of the sequence upstream/downstream is specified in the title of the FASTA sequence. If any of the selected sequences are not available, they are unchecked and the remaining sequences can still be downloaded.

HomoloGene data can be also downloaded using the HomoloGene FTP site.
