-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Recently a number of problems were reported by users who were unable to obtain flanking sequences from the marts available at biomart.org.
This issue has now been resolved. At the same time, we looked at the situation over the replacement of markersymbols with MGI symbols in Ensembl release 47. The decision was taken to stick with the change, and at the same time bring similar attributes and filters into line. This has resulted in the following changes on biomart.org: Removed: markersymbol, markersymbol_accession Added or corrected: mgi_id, mgi_symbol, hgnc_id, hgnc_symbol, zfin_id, zfin_symbol The difference between _id and _symbol for mgi/hgnc/zfin is that one is the accession, whereas the other is the common name. Please note that hgnc_id will only be available from Ensembl release 48 onwards as the data to support this is not physically present in the 47 marts. Additionally, some new attributes/filters have been added to the mouse SNP mart to support easier comparison of the two different mouse genome versions. Band and marker attributes/filters have also been reinstated for mouse. All changes and fixes listed above are currently available on the biomart.org website and to users working directly with the marts from martdb.ensembl.org:3316. The ensembl.org website will be updated at a later date. cheers, Richard - -- Richard Holland (BioMart) EMBL EBI, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridgeshire CB10 1SD, UK Tel. +44 (0)1223 494416 http://www.biomart.org/ http://www.biojava.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHPY/D4C5LeMEKA/QRAr/7AJ0bE0yyJlZbexEYDxIP+wBc7BSNhQCggBNg G3J0o5+EtIQ3A0yWin6Adjw= =WSpb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
