The new human data are   New EST gene predictions re-derived from the currently available aligned ESTs using more stringent parameters to reduce the number of artifacts in alternative splicing   New Compara data with additional subset of DNA/DNA alignments focused on highly conserved regions, for human/mouse, human/rat, mouse/rat and elegans/briggsae. Homologous gene pairs now include Zebrafish Ensembl proteins compared to human, mouse, rat and fugu.   New Protein Family data, including Zebrafish proteins.   New Vega manually annotated genes, in synch with Vega.sanger.ac.uk Schema changes in v14  Core   peptide_archive table added   gene_archive table added   stable_id_event table altered - old_version and new_version columns added   analysis table altered - parameters column enlarged from varchar(80) to varchar(255)   mapfrag table altered - type column enum extended  Compara   method_link table altered - 'method_link_type' renamed to 'type', and size changed   method_link_species table altered - 'species_set' column added   genomic_align_genome table altered - 'method_link_id' column added   genomic_align_block table altered - 'method_link_id' column added New Features in v14.31.1    New highly-conserved region track on ContigView ContigView can now display a track of regions which are highly conserved between species, using the extended Compara data. The new tracks (labelled spp. high cons, e.g. "Mm high cons") are in addition to the old "match" track (now labelled, e.g. "Mm cons").    MartView updates See the EnsMart homepage for details of Mart updates.
