[BioC] How updated is hom.Hs.inp.db? (to get homologous mapping between mouse and human symbol)?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I'm wondering to how updated hom.Hs.inp.db is.

"Title:         Homology information for Homo Sapiens from Inparanoid"

According to the title of the package, the data is from Inparanoid.
However, when I check http://inparanoid.sbc.su.se/cgi-bin/index.cgi,
it says "Version 7.0, Updated June 2009 (release notes)". It seems to
me that the data in Inparanoid is not very updated? In this case, if I
want to get the reasonably updated symbol mapping between human and
mouse, is it better to just to go ncbi, or is there a more convenient
alternative? (BTW, I also see something in the vignette of
annotationTools, not sure if this is the best way.)

Thanks!
