I am having issues finding the Ensembl Dog10K_Boxer_Tasha dataset. It is available through the [webpage][1], but I am trying to pull down gene names using the web portal BioMart or the R version of biomaRt, with no luck. Has anyone had luck locating this dataset?

What's available on the webpage is information on the genome for that particular dog species. The Biomart server only has information for ROS_Cfam_1.0. If you are just after gene names, they aren't positional, so it shouldn't matter. In other words, the only expected difference between ROS and Dog10K are possible positional differences in the genes, but the names of those genes (or Ensembl Gene IDs) should not vary.

Unfortunately, I am looking to go from position to gene name (and ideally Ensembl gene ID)... which means I might need to use another genome browser to go from position to gene name, then user biomart to translate them into the Ensembl IDs... But if you have any other (more streamlined) suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thanks!

You could just make a TxDb object and use that.

  seqinfo: 40 sequences from an unspecified genome; no seqlengths

Which includes the positions and the Ensembl ID for that position.

I forgot, you need library(GenomicFeatures) first.
