Does biomart require that all rows from a main table have a corresponding
row in a dm table (either with real values or all NULL values) for proper
function?  

For example, if we are storing PFAM domains for transcripts,
where transcripts are stored in say transcripts__main and PFAM domains in
pfam__dm, do transcripts that do NOT have any PFAM domain need to have a
row in pfam__dm with all columns set to NULL?  

In our mart, we are seeing
that if attributes are selected from transcripts__main and from different
dm tables, only those transcript that have rows in ALL selected dm tables
are displayed onthe results page.  

Thanks,
