Dear Paolo, You should be able to use GenomeGraphs again using biomaRt 1.99.1 and GenomeGraphs 1.3.3 which both can be downloaded here: http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.4/bioc-LATEST/ Note that these are the developmental versions of these packages. The release version of GenomeGraphs should also be fixed (version 1.2.1) but this is not yet available from the BioC site (should be within the next 12 hours). Also note that the release branch of biomaRt should be used with the release version of GenomeGraphs and the devel version of biomaRt should be used when using the devel version of GenomeGraphs.
