Motivation: COMPARE is a multi-organism web-based resource system designed to easily retrieve, correlate and interpret data across species. The COMPARE interface provides access to a wide array of information including genomic structure, expression data, annotations, pathways and literature links for human and three widely studied animal models (zebrafish, Drosophila and mouse). A consensus ortholog-finding pipeline combining several ortholog prediction methods allows accurate comparisons of data across species and has been utilized to transfer information from well studied organisms to more poorly annotated ones.
