Hi!
I am facing an issue with biomaRt.I have tried posting this on Bioconductor support as well. I'm working behind a proxy and have modified the Renviron file to incorporate the proxy addresses and port. I have also used the RCurlOptions to feed in the proxy as suggested in the biomart vignette. I am using the useMart command as:
ensembl<-useMart("ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL", dataset="mmusculus_gene_ensembl", + host="www.ensembl.org")
which doesn't throw any error. listMarts and listAttributes, everything works fine but when I actually come to getBM the connection is refused. The command that I'm using is (I'm following DESeq2 beginner's guide)
genemap<-getBM(attributes=c("entrezgene", "ensembl_gene_id", + "mgi_symbol"), filters="ensembl_gene_id", + values=res24$ensembl, mart=ensembl) Error in value[3L] : Request to BioMart web service failed. Verify if you are still connected to the internet. Alternatively the BioMart web service is temporarily down.
I can connect to ensembl and access the data on its ftp servers through browser.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks!
