Hi,

Given a set of entrez IDs, I wanted to know their start and end locations on the chromosome. I am using biomaRt, but get the following error:

-------------------------------------------

> entrezID = "7471" 
> getBM(attributes = c('hgnc_symbol','chromosome_name','start_position',
+       'end_position'),mart = ensembl, filters = 'with_entrezgene',
+         values = entrezID)

Error in getBM(attributes = c("hgnc_symbol", "chromosome_name", "start_position",  : 
  biomaRt error:  with_entrezgene  is a boolean filter and needs a corresponding logical value of TRUE or FALSE to indicate if the query should retrieve all data that fulfill the boolean or alternatively that all data that not fulfill the requirement should be retrieved.
-------------------------------------------

I read the documentation and it said that this particular filter needs a boolean value (error statement says the same), but it didn't say how I was actually to set it. How do I go about doing this?

thanks!
