phylogenes (aka PANTHER + more plant genomes) evaluation

[adf-ncgr]

I heard about this initiative via arabidopsis folks (TAIR) who as I understand it have hitched their cart to it when it comes to gene families:
http://www.phylogenes.org/
according to their About page:
https://conf.arabidopsis.org/display/PHGSUP/About+PhyloGenes
looks like according to the official release was fairly recent (early April) and that a number of the features they have "In the pipeline" are similar to things of interest to us.

I'd say that we should have a look and see what differentiates our plan of attack from what they have done. I suspect that there is a differentiation, but it would be nice to be able to clearly articulate it...
