Hello Sebastien,
BioMart's central portal (www.biomart.org) is always on Ensembl's latest
release. You can scan the property 'database' in the following registry
request:
http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?type=registry
and the release number is appended at the end. Its fairly consistent
naming convention with Ensembl marts. Unfortunately, there is no special
attribute to print release info in the registry request, however, will
be available from next release. About BioMart's release version, I am
not sure why would a user need this info ? please explain as this does
not seem to affect format of the data sent back from BioMart.
Cheers
Syed

Hello,
I use the RESTful access to biomart
(http://www.biomart.org/martservice.html).
I would like to know if there is a way to get Ensembl and biomart
release numbers via the RESTful access.
Thanks
