Hi Jim, Thank you very much! It works. I didn't look further down in listAttributes(mart), so I missed those. Do you know the difference between "sequence_exon_chrom_start" vs. "exon_chrom_start"? ...Tao ----- Original Message ---- From: James W.

Hi Steffen, That was very helpful. Thank you very much! ...Tao ________________________________ From: "steffen@stat.Berkeley.EDU" <steffen@stat.berkeley.edu> Cc: James W.

These attributes are both there as they correspond to different 'attribute pages' which is not directly relevant for the biomaRt API but is for the BioMart web interface. BioMart puts limits on the number of attributes you can retrieve from different pages/categories, this is actually zero and you have to stick within one page. biomaRt is a little more relaxed on this but it is still recommended to stick to querying attributes within one page/category in one query. So, I would suggest using exon_chrom_start if you don't retrieve any sequence data and use sequence_exon_chrom_start if you do retrieve sequences in the same biomaRt query. You can see to which page/category attributes belong to by: > library(biomaRt) > mart = useMart("ensembl", dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl") > attrib = listAttributes(mart, showGroups=TRUE) > head(attrib) name description group category 1 affy_hc_g110 AFFY HC G110 EXTERNAL: Features 2 affy_hg_focus AFFY HG FOCUS EXTERNAL: Features 3 affy_hg_u133a AFFY HG U133A EXTERNAL: Features 4 affy_hg_u133a_2 AFFY HG U133A_2 EXTERNAL: Features 5 affy_hg_u133b AFFY HG U133B EXTERNAL: Features 6 affy_hg_u133_plus_2 AFFY HG U133-PLUS-2 EXTERNAL: Features Cheers, Steffen > Hi Jim, > > Thank you very much!
