Click on Attributes in the left panel. Select Homologues from the six options at the top. Under GENE: deselect Ensembl Transcript stable ID and its version, select Gene name. Under PARALOGUES: select Zebrafish paralogue gene stable ID, Zebrafish paralogue associated gene name, Paralogue last common ancestor with Zebrafish, Paralogue %id. target Zebrafish gene identical to query gene and Paralogue %id. query gene identical to target Zebrafish gene.
Click the Results button on the toolbar. Select View All rows as HTML or export all results to a file.
