Hello forum,

Over the past weeks my scripts using biomaRt fail. I figured out that something is wrong with the getLDS function which triggeres an Error (Error: biomaRt has encountered an unexpected server error.). Its reproducable with the code sniped from the tutorial. The Mart objects get created but getLDS fails which is odd.


human <- useEnsembl("ensembl", dataset = "hsapiens_gene_ensembl")
mouse <- useEnsembl("ensembl", dataset = "mmusculus_gene_ensembl")

getLDS(attributes = c("hgnc_symbol","chromosome_name", "start_position"),
       filters = "hgnc_symbol", values = "TP53",
       mart = human,
       attributesL = c("refseq_mrna","chromosome_name","start_position"), 
       martL = mouse)

When I set the mirror manually I get another error message from getLDS (Error in .createErrorMessage(error_code = status_code(res), host = host): object 'err_msg' not found)


human <- useEnsembl("ensembl", dataset = "hsapiens_gene_ensembl", mirror="asia")
mouse <- useEnsembl("ensembl", dataset = "mmusculus_gene_ensembl", mirror="asia")

getLDS(attributes = c("hgnc_symbol","chromosome_name", "start_position"),
       filters = "hgnc_symbol", values = "TP53",
       mart = human,
       attributesL = c("refseq_mrna","chromosome_name","start_position"), 
       martL = mouse)

Can anyone reproduce the error and help me with a workaround?

Best, Florian

I am sorry for crossposting, the problem was posted here and here already. A fix to the problem is to use a archive verison:

human <- useMart("ensembl", dataset = "hsapiens_gene_ensembl", host = "https://dec2021.archive.ensembl.org/") 
mouse <- useMart("ensembl", dataset = "mmusculus_gene_ensembl", host = "https://dec2021.archive.ensembl.org/")

Best, Florian
