Dear Martin and Morgan,
Many thanks for your answers.
It seems that something strange happens with my internet connection. biomaRt runs perfectly in R.2.12.0 but with R.2.9.0 or previous it doesn’t work. I have reinstalled R.2.9.0 in another computer from the University, but biomaRt also doesn’t work. Nevertheless, I have installed remotely in another computer from another country R.2.9.0 and biomaRt runs perfectly. Crazy…
But solved!
Thanks!
