[ensembl-dev] BioMart Variation

[Rhoda Kinsella]

Hi John,
If you select the Ensembl variation mart and use the "GENE ASSOCIATED  
VARIATION FILTERS" you can upload your list of Ensembl ID's and use  
these to filter your query (see figure 1). You can also select the  
Ensembl gene mart as a second dataset and use the ID list limit filter  
to filter on Ensembl gene IDs. To do this select the Rat variation  
mart dataset and select any filters and attributes that you wish to  
get from there. Then select the second dataset on the the left panel  
(see figure 2) and select the Rat ensembl gene mart dataset and any  
filters and attributes that you would like before hitting the result  
button. It is not possible to add a gene filter in the "Limit to  
variants with these IDs" filter for the variation mart as this is a  
SNP centric mart. I can, however add a filter for all Ensembl gene IDs  
in the Ensembl gene mart under Filter->GENE->Limit to genes for  
release 62. You will then be able to filter on Ensembl Genes via the  
second dataset as described above. Please contact me if you require  
further assistance with your query.
Regards
Rhoda
