Ensembl Get Genetree

Get gene tree (phylogenetic tree) for a gene. Returns evolutionary relationships showing orthologues and paralogues across species. Use this to study gene evolution and find related genes in other species. Gene tree IDs can be found in gene lookup responses or by querying the Compara database.
