Hi Dan,

One thing that I noticed was that the virtual schema we had to use was
plant_mart_9.  Will this always remain the same, or is the "9" some
kind of release or version number that could change with time?

The virtualSchema change should allow you to query www.biomart.org
<http://www.biomart.org>. The other server (plants.ensembl.org
<http://plants.ensembl.org>) is not run by us, it is run by Ensembl, so
I can't comment on their naming scheme and whether it may change with
time. I imagine that it will, though, when they release version 10.

The naming scheme uses the Ensembl Genomes (as opposed to Ensembl) release number, and should be stable for the foreseeable future - we increment the number by 1 for each EG release, so the next one (July) will be plant_mart_10.

Is there a generic virtual schema name that always points to the current plant Mart? If not, will plant_mart_9 continue to work forever, even after the next Ensembl Genomes release is out?

Cheers,

David Croft.
