Dear all, when using the 'XML' button in martview, and asking for upstream_flank, we may get something similar to this:
<Filter name = "upstream_flank" value = "800"/> <Attribute name = "gene_stable_id" /> <Attribute name = "5utr" /> In the system I'm building, there's an automatic check for the correctness of attributes and filters in generated queries. Attributes and filters are checked against the lists, returned by ?type=attributes&dataset= and ?type=filters&dataset= requests, respectively. However, 'upstream_flank' is not present in the list of filters; it is present in the list of attributes, though. This looks somewhat inconsistent to me. For now, I introduced a small hack to my code to bypass 'upstream_flank' when checking. Is there any explanation/grounds for this design of the system? Thanks beforehand, -- Sincerely yours, Bogdan Tokovenko, PhD student at the Laboratory of Protein Biosynthesis, Department of Genetic Information Translation Mechanisms, Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Kyiv, Ukraine http://bogdan.org.ua/
