Hi,

Somebody else using the Reactome Mart stumbled on something odd.
If I select an attribute from a dimension table, then click the "Results"
button, I get a ton of results.  For some of the main table entries,
there is nothing present in the dimension table.  In this case, I see
empty cells in the displayed results table.

Now, if I chose the ID of one of these main table entries where there
is nothing in the dimension table, and use it as a filter term, then
re-run, I get an empty results table, even though the columns from
the main table would have contained something.  Is this a feature,
or have I messed something up?

You can try this at the following web site:

Select dataset "reaction".  Select extra attribute "Molecule ChEBI ID"
in the section "Small molecule".  Hit "Results".  Everything is fine.

Now choose the filter "Limit to reactions containing these IDs".  Select
"Reaction stable ID(s)...".  Enter "REACT_9447" as the filter value.
Hit "Results" again.  You get nothing!

Now, just for fun, go back to attribute selection, and de-select
"Molecule ChEBI ID", and then re-run.  Hey presto!  More results than
I've had hot dinners.

Does anybody know what's going on?

Cheers,

David.
