HGNC Comparison of Orthology Predictions

Giving unique and meaningful names to every human gene

Reciprocal Search Link

HCOP supports wild cards. Simply use _ to substitute for a single character and * or % to substitute for 0 or more characters. For example ABCA* fetches all ABCA genes ABCA_ fetches ABCA1 to ABCA9. It is not advisable to start a query with a wild card as the database will not be able to use its indexes and the search will be rather slow

If provided with a list of terms (either comma, space or newline delimited) HCOP searches with each term in turn for example ABCA1 ABCA2 ABCA3. a file containing the list can be uploaded using the "upload a file" search.
HCOP supports searching approved gene names, simply select the 'Approved Gene name that contains' option and enter the search string (this option takes longer than symbol or ID based searches). This option supports wild cards, thus a search for ATP*cardiac would bring up all names contain ATP followed at some point by the cardiac (ie ATPase, Ca++ transporting, cardiac muscle, fast twitch 1 and ATP synthase, H+ transporting, mitochondrial F1 complex, alpha subunit, isoform 1, cardiac muscle etc
Note: since approved names can contain comma and space this option only accepts newline delimited lists. ie a list of names one per line. this list can be copy/pased to the or uploaded as a file.

(1) There is currently no Chicken, Chimp or Dog Gene Nomenclature Committee, and hence the approved Symbol and Name fields are blank.
