OrthoDB Get Orthologs

Get orthologous genes from an OrthoDB group, optionally filtered by species. Returns gene IDs, organism names, and descriptions for all members of an orthologous group. Useful for finding orthologs across species, evolutionary conservation analysis, and functional annotation transfer. Example: group '727649at7742' with species=9606 returns human genes in that orthologous group.
