Hey Kevin, please dont drive the operating system choice by Biomart - in principle Biomart v0.8 should work on OSX, Win and *NIX - thats one of the many reasons it was rewritten in Java.
once your new system is up and running, follow the instructions in docs and see how far you go. If you face same problems, a snapshot of logs would certainly help. it should be under dist/logs/ Syed On 3 October 2012 21:50, Kevin Rue <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I am an early PhD students in bioninformatics, and wish to integrate gene > expression microarray data that my group has generated into the BioMart > context.
