Hi Andy,

Thanks for the help. Looks like I was close...

I now get an error regarding the 'types' command. I haven't implemented it so that's not a surprise. However, I'm struggling to find documentation on the build_types() function and what data it should return. My source data only has one type: 'expression_tag' so how should I return that?
Cheers,

Chris

Hi Chris,

The 'reference' Ensembl sources are suitable for use as mapmasters, as they 
provide sequence information:
http://plants.ensembl.org/das/Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.reference/entry_points
http://plants.ensembl.org/das/Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.reference/sequence?segment=1:1,100

So, barring any particular nuance of IGB, the correct mapmaster URL would be:
http://plants.ensembl.org/das/Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.reference

(assuming thaliana)

The reason for all this is I guess that IGB does not support the DAS 1.53E/1.6 
sources command, which provides species and coordinate information directly.

Cheers,
Andy

Hi,

I have a functioning ProServer install that works fine with Ensembl, but I'd 
like to get it working with IGB as well. However, it fails to load as it has a 
'Missing MAPMASTER element'. I see I need to specify a URI to a known MAPMASTER 
source, but I've no idea how.

The server is for Arabidopsis data and I've found the Ensembl DAS sources for 
plants, but which can I use as a mapmaster?
http://plants.ensembl.org/das/dsn
Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Any pointers much appreciated.
Cheers,

Chris
