<br>
Ensembl ID and stable id are the same id. We will have a look at how we can rephrase the two documents to try to remove the ambiguity.<br>
<br>
The list of entities is correct in the FAQ and <a href="https://www.ensembl.org/info/genome/stable_ids/prefixes.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ensembl.org/info/genome/stable_ids/prefixes.html</a>. The document <a href="https://www.ensembl.org/info/genome/stable_ids/index.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ensembl.org/info/genome/stable_ids/index.html</a> refers to the stable ids and versioning of genes, transcripts, proteins and exons, this is why they do not have all the entities.<br>
