Hi

I am trying to setup a custom mart db etc and have run into some problems that I can't find solutions to in the documentation. Any help would be much appreciated - even just pointers of what to read and where or links to see others config files etc.

My mart install can be accessed at http://130.239.72.85:9002/biomart/martview

1) I have uploaded sequence data for my genome (one 'column' for CDS and one for protein). Using MartEditor, how do I specify that I want this exported using the FASTA formatter? Also, how do I control what goes in the header? Using XML examples with WebExample.pl works but only if the sequence is the first attribute in the list.

2) When I use the XML generated by MartView, none of the filters I have work. I just get a blank file returned (XML pasted below).

3) Is there any extra info I can read about importables and exportables as I don't really understand form what is in the user manual (I'm a biologist trying to learn all this, so a newbie to db etc.).

4) I only have filters available for the __main table, not any of the __dm tables when I use MartEditor. Any common mistakes that can lead to this?

5) Is it possible to view the public marts in MArtEditor so I can see how others have things working that I want? I'm particularly interested in GRAMENE GENES as they have everything working that I currently want.

A lot of questions I know. Help with any would be great.

Thanks
