Hi Syed, I would like to use the combination of BioMart / ProServer / GBrowse to maintain and visualize genomic assemblies and maybe more data later on.
To understand how to setup BioMart / ProServer I'm using the dataset included in http://gmod.org/wiki/BioMart_Tutorial With MartEditor I created an importable/exportable pair with internalName, displayName, linkName and name set to "mypair". I set the "type" field to "dasGene" for both. For importable I set the filters field to "stable_id_1023" and for exportable, I set the attributes to "stable_id_1023,seq_region_start_1020,seq_region_end_1020,biotype_1020,source_1018". For the ProServer configuration, I set: feature_keys = id,start,end,type,method Calling ProServer from a webbrowser causes an error: Use of uninitialized value $call in string eq at blib/lib/Bio/Das/ProServer.pm line 859.
