Exporting homologues with BioMart

Go to Ensembl Plants’s BioMart. For a list of Arabidopsis thaliana genes, export the coffee orthologues:
MLP28, MEE18, EP1, QRT3, MOT2, GC4, WYR

Do all of these genes have a homologue in coffee?

  1. Go to BioMart (you can find a shortcut in the navigation bar at the top of any Ensembl Plants page) and click New. Choose the Ensembl Plant Genes database. Choose the Arabidopsis thaliana genes (TAIR10) dataset.

  2. Click on Filters in the left panel. Expand the GENE. Enter the gene list in the Input external references ID list box. Select Gene Name from the input options dropdown list.

  3. Click on Attributes in the left panel. Select the Homologues attributes at the top of the page. Expand the GENE section. Select Gene Name. Expand the ORTHOLOGUES [A-E] section. Select Coffea canephora gene stable ID.

  4. Click Results. Select View: All rows as HTML.

    All genes have a homologue in coffee.
