Dear biomaRt developers,
The following getBM function call returns 0 record of miRNAs for c.elegans.
It works fine for human. FYI, the martview website does not display any
miRNA for c.elegans either.
Could you please help? Many thanks!
library(biomaRt)
mart=useMart(biomart="ensembl",dataset="celegans_gene_ensembl")
miRNA = getBM(c("ensembl_gene_id", "chromosome_name", "start_position",
"end_position", "strand", "description", "gene_biotype"),
filter = c("biotype"), values = "miRNA", mart = mart)
Best regards,
Julie
