Hi Steffen,

Thanks for your input.

I had originally been querying for the attribute 
"referencedatabase_entrez_gene" and it was working one month ago but I tried 
that query since last week and it gives the below error message so I'm not sure 
if the attribute name may be changed to something else or if I need to update 
to a newer biomaRt package in R?

> library("biomaRt")
> mart = useMart("REACTOME", dataset="pathway")
> pathwayids = 
> getBM(attributes=c("stableidentifier_identifier"),filters="species_selection",values=c("Homo
>  sapiens"), mart=mart)
> pathwayids = c(do.call("cbind",pathwayids))
> entrezids = 
> getBM(attributes=c("referencedatabase_entrez_gene"),filters="pathway_id_list",values=c(pathwayids[1]),
>  mart=mart)
Error in getBM(attributes = c("referencedatabase_entrez_gene"), filters = 
"pathway_id_list",  :
  Query ERROR: caught BioMart::Exception::Query: <pre>Query error occurred at 
web service based data source!

          &lt;/Dataset&gt;
&lt;/Query&gt;

Please ensure the above query XML is well-formed and does not contain illegal 
characters.

Error message from remote server as below:

Hi Stan, Robin,

I'm the biomaRt developer, I've been reading through the email thread an am not 
sure if I understand what the problem is.
The error is thrown by the biomaRt package as there is no attribute named 
'referencedatabase_ncbi_gene' in the reactome pathway dataset.  I see 
'referencedatabase_entrez_gene' does exists, and think that is the attribute 
that the user is querying for, that should work.


Cheers,
Steffen

Hi Robin and David,

Thanks for looking into this issue for me.
Please let me know who would be the person to contact for questions about the 
biomaRt module for R if this is taken care of by someone else.

Thanks,
Stan

Hi Stanley,

I might defer to my colleague David Croft for some additional input here.

Hi Robin,



I am using the new email system here at UofT but thanks for forwarding the 
email to me.



I tried using the attribute name "referencedatabase_ncbi_gene" but it gave me 
the following error message. Please let me know if I need a certain version of 
biomaRt for my query to work or if there is another name for the attribute (the 
output of listAttributes(mart) still lists "referencedatabase_entrez_gene" and 
there is no mention of ncbi anywhere).



I am currently using biomaRt_2.10.0 with R version 2.14.2 (2012-02-29).



Command and Error:

> entrezids =

> getBM(attributes=c("referencedatabase_ncbi_gene"),filters="pathway_id_

> list",values=c(pathwayids[1]), mart=mart)

Error in getBM(attributes = c("referencedatabase_ncbi_gene"), filters = 
"pathway_id_list",  :

  Invalid attribute(s): referencedatabase_ncbi_gene Please use the function 
'listAttributes' to get valid attribute names



Thanks,

Stan

Robin and David:
Thank you for clarifying this. It would be great if you could keep such 
communications on the "users" mailing lists. There are other users who can 
benefit from this information and if there is an action required with regards 
to syncing BioPortal with Reactome I can coordinate with Francis so that there 
are no service disruptions to the user community


thank you

Hi Stan,

I'm glad I was able to forward the email to you. I think it should be 
"referencedatabase_ncbi_gene" instead "referencedatabase_entrez_gene".

Are you using the new utoronto email system? There's some odd behaviour with 
the sending and receiving some emails with the utoronto mail system. So, this 
might explain why you did not receive the email earlier because it was 
definitely sent by our mail server and received at a number of different 
locations.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Robin

Hi Robin,

Thanks for your email.

I didn't receive the below email from David Croft for some reason. (nothing in 
my inbox or junkmail folders)

I have written some small R scripts to help me collect entrez gene IDs for each 
specified pathway.

Do you know what is the new attribute name I should be using to get lists of 
NCBI gene IDs for pathways through the Biomart R module?
i.e., right now i am querying for "referencedatabase_entrez_gene" but it 
doesn't work anymore, maybe it is called something else now?

Commands:
library("biomaRt")
mart = useMart("REACTOME", dataset="pathway")
pathwayids = 
getBM(attributes=c("stableidentifier_identifier"),filters="species_selection",values=c("Homo
 sapiens"), mart=mart)
pathwayids = c(do.call("cbind",pathwayids))
entrezids = 
getBM(attributes=c("referencedatabase_entrez_gene"),filters="pathway_id_list",values=c(pathwayids[1]),
 mart=mart)

Error:
Query ERROR: caught BioMart::Exception::Usage: Attribute 
referencedatabase_entrez_gene NOT FOUND</pre>

Thanks,
Stan

Dear Stanley,

Is this still a problem? I thought we'd been able to address this issue, last 
week?

If not, can you please let us know?

Thanks,
Robin

Hi Stanley,

Sorry about this problem, we got caught out by a database name change:
Entrez gene is now NCBI gene.  We have now updated our BioMart to
reflect this, so if you run the query on our website, it should work.  I
do not have any experience with R-BioMart, you may need to experiment a
little.

Cheers,

David Croft.
