Hi Gareth,

I suspect you're connecting directly through biomart central, and I don't think they've repacked/restarted their servers yet, as Arek mentioned a slight lag due to a reorganisation of their services. I imagine you can point your biomaRt adaptor directly at the EBI mart servers/dbs (e.g. bacteria.ensembl.org/biomart/martview or [email protected]:4157), though I confess this is something I don't know much about. Maybe someone else can suggest how to modify things to use EBI directly?

Best,

Dan.

Thanks Dan. I guessed that it might have something to do with the new
Ensembl release.
However, I can't see bacteria_mart_13 from within R:

 mart=useMart("bacteria_mart_13")
Error in useMart("bacteria_mart_13") :
   Incorrect BioMart name, use the listMarts function to see which BioMart 
databases are available


Any idea how to get at it from R, or when it will be released?
Cheers,
Gareth

Hi Gareth,

As mentioned in a mail I sent to the list yesterday, we've now released
Ensembl Genomes 13, so bacteria_mart_13 has been retired and is no
longer available through our mart interface. The db is still there on
our public server if you need to use it directly, but there is no change
in the data so I'd suggest you change to use v13 instead.

Best,

Dan Staines.
