Hi
I still cannot use the getGene function with other species than homo sapiens. Is this function specific to homo sapiens or is it a problem which is to be solved.
thanks

Hi
using the getGene function with hsapiens return result but now that i'm using the mmusculus specie it doesn't work
for example with a mmusculus refseq :
martMm <- useMart(biomart = "ensembl", dataset="mmusculus_gene_ensembl")
getGene(id = "NM_019695", type = "refseq", mart = martMm)
Error in getBM(attributes = c(att, "hgnc_symbol", "description", chrname, : attribute: hgnc_symbol not found, please use the function 'listAttributes' to get valid attribute names


Hi Tabare,
you need an expert advice on this but from the naming there I can guess that hgnc_symbol is not applicable for mouse - these are human identifiers so the function there probably resolves
to the non-existent mouse attribute


a.


whereas with a hsapiens refseq it gives result and no error message:
martHs <- useMart(biomart = "ensembl", dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl")
getGene(id = "NM_000015", type = "refseq", mart = martHs)

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? is this function just for homo sapiens ?
Thanks
