I'm a little confused by the behavior of martivew on
http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martview/
You know (please correct me if it's wrong) that each database is linked
to a series of datasets by the mart file that you can download using url
like:
http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?type=datasets&mart=ensembl
<http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?type=datasets&mart=ensembl>
On martview, for the first database listed (ENSEBL 45 GENES - SANGER)
you can choose on a list of simple datasets.
However If you choose ENSEMBL 45 HOMOLOGY - SANGER, datasets are divided
into species and type.
If we look the mart file, you can find CSV lines, like:
TableSet compara_agam_agam_paralogs Anopheles gambiae
(AgamP3)|Anopheles gambiae (AgamP3)|Paralogues
TableSet compara_agam_btau_orthologs Anopheles gambiae (AgamP3)|Bos
taurus (Btau_3.1)|Orthologues 1
TableSet compara_agam_btau_paralogs Anopheles gambiae (AgamP3)|Bos
taurus (Btau_3.1)|Paralogues 1
A dataset is indicated by the unique internal name (after Tableset). The
third CSV element is the Display name for selections, and (I suppose)
species and type are separated by a "|" char.
The question is:
Is normal that after I select "Anopheles gambiae" as first specie in the
website, I can choose for example XENOPUS TROPICALIS as second, instead
only Anopheles gambiae or bos taurus, how I may expect looking the mart
file?
Is there a problem with html and javascript or I miss something?
thank you
Gianfranco
