Re: BiomaRt: getLDS keeps returning NULL

Hi Steffen,

Thanks for you quick reply, I will try it again next week then.
In reply to you request; I just c/p your lines in above post and it
resulted in said error message.

I don't know if it helps but I did find a remark related to something
similar:

I believe biomaRt package does not
support the new webservice API of biomart v0.8. It should work if your
biomart installation was v0.7.

I use ubuntu 12.04.1, R2.15

best wishes

Steven
