Hi Andy, Ahhh, no we don't have any really big drop down filters like yours... Do you really need drop downs that big*, do you know if anyone's using them? (I personally find overly large drop downs a bit cumbersome). For the ESLIM and MP names/id's, you could take an approach similar to how E

Hiya Darren It's not really the data build that's the problem it's when we use the actual data in the build to auto-populate a drop down in the filters section of the biomart. When we build the next one the only way we've found of resetting those filter dropdowns is to recreate them by hand u

Hi, Just out of interest - is your data changing that rapidly between releases that you need to reconfigure/rebuild the MartEditor XMLs each build? We automatically rebuild our biomarts nightly, all we do is just re-run the SQL generated by MartBuilder (incorporating your new data) and reconf

Hi! You might be interested in MartScript, http://github.com/joejimbo/MartScript, which can be used to automatically create Ensembl (and related) marts. I do not know your database structure, but perhaps it would work for you with some minor modifications as well. The major downside of using

Hi, I am working at Medical Research Council, Harwell, UK. We provide the biomart interface to Europhenome database. We are trying to automate the process of re-building biomart with new data. At the moment we need to run marteditor manually and update the dataset in previously created mart. Is t
