Hi Kieren,
It is not possible to retrieve reference sequences from the Ensembl mart as this mart is feature centric (i.e. gene centric) and is used to pull out a feature and its corresponding attributes.
Regards,
Rhoda

Hi,

Is it possible to retrieve reference sequences using Biomart? In the Sequence>Attributes section there does not appear to be this option. Options include coding region, flanking sequence, transcripts etc but no options for the entire unannotated reference DNA sequence.

Many thanks
