News
----------

06/21/2008

- format of the ontology association files changed. Column 2 of the
files is now only the numeric RGD id. So, "RGD:1234" is now just "1234".
This brings the file format into line with the gene ontology specification.
The database prefix is specified in column 1.

06/10/2008

- new ortholog file "RGD_ORTHOLOGS" released. Rat genes mapped
to human and mouse orthologs. See header of file for details.


06/09/2008

- annotation files in "annotated_rgd_objects_by_ontology" no 
longer have suffix on file name. 

- Major clean up of data release directory. A copy of the old
files is available in the directory "old_data_release".
