Hi,
Could you inform me which modification you did in biomaRt ? or in ENSEMBL ? Indeed, I have my R package (coMET) use biomaRt to access to data. From the last update in BiomaRt (12/14/2017), I have a new error message. Do you change the name of database associated with ENSEMBL ? This is my error message Unexpected format to the list of available marts. Please check the following URL manually, and try ?listMarts for advice. http://grch37.ensembl.org:80/biomart/martservice?type=registry&requestid=biomaRt When I look at the list of dataset, I have <MartURLLocation database="ensembl_mart_91" default="1" displayName="Ensembl Genes 91" host="grch37.ensembl.org" includeDatasets="" martUser="" name="ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL" path="/biomart/martservice" port="80" serverVirtualSchema="default" visible="1" /> however, previously, the database name was hsapiens_gene_ensembl. Does it mean that you are going to change the name of database for each new release ? How, I can have the name of databases from ENSEMBL stable between different releases of ENSEMBL Regards, Tiphaine ---------------------------- Tiphaine Martin Research Associate | King's College The Department of Twin Research & Genetic Epidemiology | Genetics & Molecular Medicine Division St Thomas' Hospital 4th Floor, Block D, South Wing SE1 7EH, London United Kingdom Bioinformatician | The University of Western Australia, Endocrinology & Diabetes, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.
