Gviz::BiomartGeneRegionTrack works perfectly fine until today. It starts to return error messages. Below is what I did:

 

library(Gviz)
biomTrack <- BiomartGeneRegionTrack(genome="hg19", chromosome="chr5",
                                    start=140769048, end=140811151)

 

The return message is:

Extra content at the end of the document

Error: 1: Extra content at the end of the document

Any ideas what is going on?

Looks like Biomart is currently down. Here is part of the content of the XML file that R tries to parse:

The Ensembl web service you requested is temporarily unavailable.\n  We are working to restore the service as soon as possible. We\napologise for any inconvenience caused.\n\n\n   

\n      More information about this downtime may be available on the http://www.ensembl.info/\">Ensembl Blog or the http://wtsi-status.blogspot.com\">Sanger status blog.\n   

\n   

 

Probably just a temporary outage.

Dear all,

I am afraid we experienced a power failure affecting many of our servers yesterday and some of our archive websites were down all night.

Most of the archive websites are now back online.

Apologies for any inconvenienced caused.

Regards,

Thomas
