[Bioc-devel] Update in BioMart/ENSEMBL alters coMET

[Martin, Tiphaine]

Hi,


Could you inform me which modification you did in biomaRt ? or in ENSEMBL ?

Indeed, I have my R package (coMET) use biomaRt to access to data. From the last update in BiomaRt (12/14/2017), I have a new error message.


Do you change the name of database associated with ENSEMBL ?


This is my error message

Unexpected format to the list of available marts.
Please check the following URL manually, and try ?listMarts for advice.
http://grch37.ensembl.org:80/biomart/martservice?type=registry&requestid=biomaRt

 When I look at the list of dataset, I have

<MartURLLocation database="ensembl_mart_91" default="1" displayName="Ensembl Genes 91" host="grch37.ensembl.org" includeDatasets="" martUser="" name="ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL" path="/biomart/martservice" port="80" serverVirtualSchema="default" visible="1" />


however, previously, the database name was hsapiens_gene_ensembl.

Does it mean that you are going to change the name of database for each new release ?

How, I can have the name of databases from ENSEMBL stable between different releases of ENSEMBL


Regards,

Tiphaine
