Hi, > The patch that Michael mentioned actually arrived at the exact moment > that I was testing the bug fix above which means that it has a some > conflicts I will have to resolve, but it should be added to devel very soon. I am inquiring after the status of the patch that allows 'host' argument to makeTranscriptDbFromBiomart, which I would like to call as makeTranscriptDbFromBiomart(biomart = "fungi_mart_12" ,host="fungi.ensembl.org" ,dataset = "spombe_eg_gene" ) Do you have any suggestions for how to proceed with my aim? Thanks! Malcolm Cook - Stowers Institute

The patch needs some minor fixing. I'll send a corrected version to Marc today. -Cory On Tuesday, January 3, 2012, Malcolm Cook <mec@stowers.org> wrote: > Hi, > >> The patch that Michael mentioned actually arrived at the exact moment >> that I was testing the bug fix above which means that it has a some >> conflicts I will have to resolve, but it should be added to devel very soon. > > I am inquiring after the status of the patch that allows 'host' argument to > makeTranscriptDbFromBiomart, which I would like to call as > > > makeTranscriptDbFromBiomart(biomart = "fungi_mart_12" > ,host="fungi.ensembl.org" > ,dataset = "spombe_eg_gene" > ) > > > Do you have any suggestions for how to proceed with my aim? > > Thanks! > > Malcolm Cook - Stowers Institute > > _______________________________________________ > Bioconductor mailing list > Bioconductor@r-project.org > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioconductor > Search the archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.informatics.conductor > [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

The problem that was preventing makeTranscriptDbFromBiomart() to fetch the 'chrominfo' data frame (i.e. chromosome lengths) from Ensembl has been fixed. Make sure you update to the latest version of GenomicFeatures (v 1.6.5 in BioC release, v 1.7.8 in BioC devel). Available via biocLite(). The warnings about duplicated levels still need to be investigated. Cheers, H. > > Cheers, > H. > >> >> So I think the problem is basically fixed.

Tim, the lastest version of makeTranscriptDbFriomBiomart should let you specify the host argument. -Cory 2012/1/4 Hervé Pagès <hpages at="" fhcrc.org="">: > Hi Tim, > > > On 11/09/2011 10:27 AM, Hervé Pagès wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> On 11-11-09 03:33 AM, Tim Rayner wrote: >>> >>> Hi Marc, >>> >>> Thanks very much for looking into this, and also to Michael for >>> providing the patch.

Hi Herv?, Thanks very much for fixing this. I can confirm that GenomicFeatures 1.6.5 works on our Linux server. Interestingly, the warnings about duplicated levels have also now disappeared in that case. I initially ran into a new problem with GenomicFeatures 1.6.6 (see the bug report and session info below); however, when I reinstalled GenomicFeatures using type='source' the error went away.
