I seem to be unable to use biomaRt today (working fine Friday) but I don't see anything on the Biomart website wbout downtime, so I am not sure if the problem lies at my end. Any ideas? Jose example: library(biomaRt) ensembl=useMart("ensembl") dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl" ensembl=useDataset(dataset, mart=ensembl) getBM(attributes="hgnc_curated_gene_name", filters="entrezgene", values=c(1,33), mart=ensembl) I get: Error in getBM(attributes = "hgnc_curated_gene_name", filters = "entrezgene", : Query ERROR: caught BioMart::Exception::Database: Could not connect to mysql database ensembl_mart_61: DBI connect('database=ensembl_mart_61;host=dcc-qa- db.oicr.on.ca;port=3306','bm_web',...) failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'dcc-qa-db.oicr.on.ca' (113) at /srv/biomart_server/biomart.org/biomart- perl/lib/BioMart/Configuration/DBLocation.pm line 98 > my sessionInfo() R version 2.11.0 (2010-04-22) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United Kingdom.1252 LC_CTYPE=English_United Kingdom.1252 LC_MONETARY=English_United Kingdom.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=English_United Kingdom.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] xtable_1.5-6 GO.db_2.4.1 org.Hs.eg.db_2.4.1 annotate_1.26.0 GOstats_2.14.0 [6] RSQLite_0.9-0 DBI_0.2-5 graph_1.28.0 Category_2.14.0 AnnotationDbi_1.10.1 [11] Biobase_2.8.0 biomaRt_2.4.0 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] genefilter_1.30.0 GSEABase_1.10.0 RBGL_1.26.0 RCurl_1.4-2 splines_2.11.0 survival_2.35-9 [7] tools_2.11.0 XML_3.1-0 -- Dr. Jose I. de las Heras Email: J.delasHeras at ed.ac.uk The Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology Phone: +44 (0)131 6507095 Institute for Cell & Molecular Biology Fax: +44 (0)131 6507360 Swann Building, Mayfield Road University of Edinburgh Edinburgh EH9 3JR UK -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

Hi Jose, The reason for this error is that the HGNC curated gene name attribute has been removed. We have also removed HGNC automated filters and attributes as these external references were confusing for users. You can still retrieve the HGNC ID and symbol and also the HGNC transcript name from the database. I hope this helps.

Hi Jose You can find the lists of filters and attributes available for each species using the following (e.g for the human dataset): http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martservice?type=filters&dataset=hsapie ns_gene_ensembl http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martservice?type=attributes&dataset=hsa piens_gene_ensembl I also try to send out an e-mail of changes to the biomart and bioconductor mailing lists after each release. I hope that helps Rhoda On 21 Feb 2011, at 13:15, J.delasHeras@ed.ac.uk wrote: > Quoting Rhoda Kinsella <rhoda@ebi.ac.uk>: > >> Hi Jose, >> The reason for this error is that the HGNC curated gene name >> attribute has been removed.

Hi Jose it is the Biomart server...the web site is up, but you can't do any queries (ie they will produce the same error message as you got through the biomaRt interface). you should contact the Biomart team.

Hi Jose I should also have mentioned in my previous email that if you are having difficulties doing other queries, this may be a server issue at www.biomart.org and you should try running your query against www.ensembl.org marts by setting host=www.ensembl.org.
