[Gofriends] Question - ID translations

[Sorin Draghici]

Hi,

Perhaps I should have included a short paragraph of the abstract:

We have developed a web-based resource, Onto-Translate
(OT), which effectively addresses this problem.  Currently, OT is able
to perform 462 types of mappings between 29 different types of IDs
from 17 databases concerning 53 organisms. Among these, over 300
types of translations and 15 types of IDs are not currently supported
by any other tool or resource. On average, OT is able to correctly map
between 96% and 99% of the biological entities provided as input. In
terms of speed, sets of approximatively 20,000 IDs can be translated
in under 30 seconds, in most cases.

The paper also includes a number of comparisons with several of the other 
resources able to perform such translations.
