Hi all,
The BioMart central service seems to have been down the last few days.
Yesterday it came back on-line but when doing a query to read the
central server registry gives:
http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?type=registry
<MartRegistry>
<virtualSchema name="dicty" visible="0">
<MartURLLocation default="1" displayName="DICTYBASE (NORTHWESTERN)" host="www.dictybase.org" includeDatasets="" martUser=""
name="dicty" path="" port="80" redirect="1" serverVirtualSchema="dictyMart" visible="1" />
</virtualSchema>
<virtualSchema name="default" visible="0">
<MartURLLocation default="1" displayName="ENSEMBL 40 (SANGER)" host="web50-node4.ebi.ac.uk" includeDatasets="" martUser=""
name="ensembl" path="/biomart/martservice" port="9004" serverVirtualSchema="default" visible="1" />
<MartURLLocation default="0" displayName="SEQUENCE 40 (SANGER)" host="web50-node4.ebi.ac.uk" includeDatasets="" martUser=""
name="sequence" path="/biomart/martservice" port="9004" serverVirtualSchema="default" visible="0" />
<MartURLLocation default="0" displayName="SNP 40 (SANGER)" host="web50-node4.ebi.ac.uk" includeDatasets="" martUser=""

<MartURLLocation default="0" displayName="VEGA 40 (SANGER)" host="web50-node4.ebi.ac.uk" includeDatasets="" martUser=""
name="vega" path="/biomart/martservice" port="9004" serverVirtualSchema="default" visible="1" />
<MartURLLocation default="0" displayName="UNIPROT PROTOTYPE 4-5 (EBI)" host="web50-node4.ebi.ac.uk" includeDatasets=""
martUser="" name="uniprot" path="/biomart/martservice" port="9004" serverVirtualSchema="default" visible="1" />
<MartURLLocation default="0" displayName="MSD PROTOTYPE 4 (EBI)" host="web50-node4.ebi.ac.uk" includeDatasets="" martUser=""
name="msd" path="/biomart/martservice" port="9004" serverVirtualSchema="default" visible="1" />
<MartURLLocation default="0" displayName="WORMBASE CURRENT (CSHL)" host="web50-node4.ebi.ac.uk" includeDatasets="" martUser=""
name="wormbase" path="/biomart/martservice" port="9004" serverVirtualSchema="default" visible="1" />
</virtualSchema>
</MartRegistry>
The host is said to be web50-node4.ebi.ac.uk but this is not accessible.
Any idea what is happening or how we can access the web services again?
best,
Steffen
