Hi,
I'm trying to use biomaRt but get the following error, when I try
getBM
statement but the connectivity seems ok according to listMarts().
library("biomaRt")
listMarts()[1:4,]
biomart
version
1 ensembl ENSEMBL 56 GENES (SANGER UK)
2 snp ENSEMBL 56 VARIATION (SANGER UK)
3 functional_genomics ENSEMBL 56 FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS (SANGER UK)
4 vega VEGA 36 (SANGER UK)
ensembl = useMart("ensembl")
ensembl = useDataset("hsapiens_gene_ensembl",mart=ensembl)
Checking attributes ... ok
Checking filters ... ok
affyids = c("202763_at", "209310_s_at", "207500_at")
getBM(attributes = c("affy_hg_u133_plus_2", "entrezgene"), filters =
"affy_hg_u133_plus_2", values = affyids, mart = ensembl)
Error in value[[3L]](cond) :
Request to BioMart web service failed. Verify if you are still
connected
to the internet. Alternatively the BioMart web service is temporarily
down.
Calls: getBM ... tryCatch -> tryCatchList -> tryCatchOne ->
<anonymous>
I search a little bit and found that on the postForm call on getBM got
the
error; probably RCurl compatibility issue?
