How to download synteny form ENSEMBL

Hi guys.

I am trying to do some researches on synteny across human and non-human primates. It is known that synteny across species has been identified by ENSEMBL, but I want to download the exact chromosomal region rather than a simple figure provided by the website.

The ENSEMBL website is as follows (FYI) : https://uswest.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/Location/Synteny?r=17:63992802-64038237;otherspecies=Gorilla_gorilla

synteny r

You will need to use compara API provided by Ensembl. NCBI Homologene project also has the information that can be easily downloaded.

Hi, I am not familiar with Perl at all. Is there another way to get syntenic regions?
