Hi Syed,
Thanks for the suggestion. I had to wait until the evening to try your
suggestion because my University's firewall apparently block the 53xx ports.
The results look more pormising using DBLocation. Also, when using Web
Services (instead of the BioMart Perl API), I seem to get the correct results
though I still have more testing to do. Would you expect Web Services to be
the more reliable mechanism when it comes to data integrity issues such as
this? I wonder if this is one of many reasons why Biomart 0.8 may drop support
(is that true?) for the BioMart PERL API's.
Do you know why changing the Mart type to MartDBLocation works better
than MartURLLocation? Given the firewall issues I may have no choice but to
switch to using the Web Services method.
Thank you,
Phillipe

Hi,
what happens when you use the MartDBLocation type connection params in registry
file, e.g:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE MartRegistry>
<MartRegistry>
<MartDBLocation databaseType="mysql" host="martdb.ensembl.org"
database="ensembl_mart_65" name="ensembl" displayName="ENSEMBL 65 GENE (SANGER
UK)" port="5316" schema="ensembl_mart_65" user="anonymous" password=""
visible="1" default="1" martUser="" includeDatasets="hsapiens_gene_ensembl" />
<MartDBLocation databaseType="mysql" host="martdb.ensembl.org"
database="sequence_mart_65" name="seq" displayName="ENSEMBL 65 SEQ (SANGER UK)"
port="5316" schema="sequence_mart_65" user="anonymous" password="" visible="1"
default="1" martUser="" includeDatasets="" />
</MartRegistry>
