Actually this one's quite straightforward (thankfully!).
The attribute list you are using refers internally to a bunch of
placeholder attributes (in this case they're easy to spot because Ben
has given them names ending in _place). Those placeholder attributes in
turn resolve to real attributes. When using XML queries you need to
name
the resolved real attributes, not the placeholder ones that pointed to
them.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.
oops forgot about this one .... this is unintentional feature ;-)
Hopefully it will go away in the near future and BioMart will resolve
these things for you
a.
The MartView web code is
aware of it and behaves appropriately, but the requirement to use
resolved attributes is not immediately obvious to non-MartView users.
cheers,
