| Question | Answer | 
| Ensembl- 'Evidenced' Proteins | Proteins that have been found | 
| Ensembl- Proposed Proteins | Proteins suspected, but not yet found | 
| Ensembl- Consensus Genes | Genes consisting of the most frequent polymorphisms in all known alleles | 
| Ensembl- GENSCAN | Used to create consensus sequences | 
| Ensembl- CCDS Tag | NCBI, USC, Havana and Ensembl all agree it exists | 
| Ensembl- Data Taken from | NCBI, UniProt, Havana and TrEmbl Reference Sequences | 
| Ensembl- ENSGxxxxxx | Ensembl Gene ID | 
| Ensembl- ENST | Ensemble Transcript ID |
