Hi Naharajan
There is an issue with the registry file which I will report to our web team and we will fix this as soon as possible. Basically, if you look here:

http://apr2011.archive.ensembl.org/biomart/martservice?type=registry

you will see that host="archive.ensembl.org" but this should be host="apr2011.archive.ensembl.org".
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Regards
Rhoda

Hello,

I was trying to retreive gene related information for zebra fish using the archive site "apr2011- Ensembl version 62". When I tried to connect to the archive site using R biomart package. I get the following error

> fish_mart <- useMart("ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL", dataset ="drerio_gene_ensembl", host = "apr2011.archive.ensembl.org", path = "/biomart/martservice", archive = FALSE) Error in useDataset(mart = mart, dataset = dataset, verbose = verbose) : The given dataset: drerio_gene_ensembl , is not valid. Correct dataset names can be obtained with the listDatasets function.

The datasets are missing for the Ensembl genes 62 version.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Naharajan
