Dear all,

I have a list of locus link ID from mouse (eg. 98682, 20336), and would like
to use biomaRt to retrieve the information (gene symbol, etc.) for each
locus link ID, here the commands I used:


> ensembl = useMart("ensembl")
> ensembl = useDataset("mmusculus_gene_ensembl", mart = ensembl)
Checking attributes and filters ... ok
> getGene(id = "98682", type = "entrezgene", mart=ensembl)
Error in getBM(attributes = c(filter, symbol, "description", chrname,  :
        Invalid attribute(s): mgi_symbol
Please use the function 'listAttributes' to get valid attribute names


I don't have any clue about the error, and I followed the guideline from the
biomaRt menu.

I greatly appreciate for any help or suggestion.

Thanks a lot.
