Holger, We try to keep biomart.org<http://biomart.org> in sync with our sources, and we announce updates on this list. In fact, biomart.org<http://biomart.org> IS synchronized to the current version of Ensembl, and when I check the underlying database they are indeed in agreement (i.e., it returns two transcripts). However, for some reason the web service is only returning the one result. So, you seem to have uncovered a bug. Thank you for reporting it, and we'll post to the list when the cause has been determined and it has been fixed.

Unfortunately I obtain different results depending on which biomart-service I'm using. Here's an example: defaultMart = useDataset("mmusculus_gene_ensembl", mart = useMart("ensembl")) ensemblMart <- useMart("ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL", dataset = "mmusculus_gene_ensembl", host = "www.ensembl.org<http://www.ensembl.org>", path = "/biomart/martservice", archive = FALSE) getBM(attributes=c('ensembl_gene_id', 'ensembl_transcript_id'), filters=c('ensembl_gene_id'), values=c('ENSMUSG00000047507'),mart=defaultMart); ensembl_gene_id ensembl_transcript_id 1 ENSMUSG00000047507 ENSMUST00000056357 getBM(attributes=c('ensembl_gene_id', 'ensembl_transcript_id'), filters=c('ensembl_gene_id'), values=c('ENSMUSG00000047507'),mart=ensemblMart); ensembl_gene_id ensembl_transcript_id 1 ENSMUSG00000047507 ENSMUST00000056357 2 ENSMUSG00000047507 ENSMUST00000169109 So obviously one transcript is missing when using the default mart. It looks to me that the biomart-service is not in sync with ensembl, because if I use the archive mirror 'nov2010.archive.ensembl.org' the ensembl results match the biomart.org<http://biomart.org> results. Is there a sync-schedule available? Or is there another reason for the mismatch?
