[ensembl-dev] BioMart Variation

[Fiona Cunningham]

 Dear John,

Thank you for reporting this inconsistency. I have just tried
searching the rat variation Biomart with this identifier
"ENSRNOSNP2900811", and it does in fact work despite, as you say, the
interface requesting that you use dbSNP identifiers. Can you try your
query and just ignore that the interface requests dbSNP identifiers?

Does this solve your problem?sorry about the misleading interface. We
will try and rectify it.
Best regards,

Fiona
