Hi Zhiliang, It does not really matter how you load data into BioMart as long as it ends up in a relational database containing BioMart schema. You can therefore use standard loading approaches e.g. the data import tools that come with the database and then use MConfigurator tool to configure it. If you already have a relational database that you are trying to convert to BioMart spec, you can use the MConfigurator tool to do it for you.
My favourite approach to quickly learning how to set up a BioMart database is to simply create a database with one table and a few rows of data on your laptop and then configure it with MConfigurator and launch the server there. It will give you an immediate feel how the software works a On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 10:17 AM, Zhiliang <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe I was not careful enough but by scanning through Biomart user manual > and online tutorial I don't seem to find how to build own data sets into a > local Biomart install.
