Hi Charles,

Firstly, the Proserver component in the BioMart source code is deprecated and not functional at all. Please do not use, i dont think its document anywhere in project docs. BioMart DAS server is elsewhere in the source and is documented in detail in project docs.

Could you please tell us which DAS features in particular are you looking for ?

Thanks
Syed

Hi Syed,

I would like to use the combination of BioMart / ProServer / GBrowse to
maintain and visualize
genomic assemblies and maybe more data later on.

To understand how to setup BioMart / ProServer I'm using the dataset
included in

http://gmod.org/wiki/BioMart_Tutorial

With MartEditor I created an importable/exportable pair with internalName,
displayName, linkName and name set to "mypair". I set the "type" field to
"dasGene" for both. For importable I set the filters field to
"stable_id_1023" and for exportable, I set the attributes to
"stable_id_1023,seq_region_start_1020,seq_region_end_1020,biotype_1020,source_1018".

For the ProServer configuration, I set:


feature_keys = id,start,end,type,method

Calling ProServer from a webbrowser causes an error:

Use of uninitialized value $call in string eq at
blib/lib/Bio/Das/ProServer.pm line 859.

Okay, this is not an BioMart specific, but maybe someone has a clue what's
going on.

Cheers,
