Hi Martin,
I will report your error to mart-dev@ebi.ac.uk. This is the e-mail
list you should use to report errors relating to the www.biomart.org
martview and martservice. Unfortunately, you cannot access the ensembl
server using the BiomaRt package at the moment as there has been an
error in the registry. We plan to rectify this for the forthcoming
release due at the beginning of March. I think you should use the
ensembl.org mart interface or the martservice until the bug is fixed.
I hope that helps,
Regards,
Rhoda
