Hi Kathrin,

It looks like the BioMart server got upgraded and now includes the latest
Ensembl version 71.
They might have forgotten to add unimart in this upgrade and to find out we
need to email the BioMart users list at users@biomart.org
I will do this and get back to you to let you know what is going on.
 Hopefully they can re-add unimart or provide us with an alternate URL to
send our queries to.

Best,
Steffen
