Dear Prem,

In order improve scalability we have recently invested a lot of effort in tidying up parts of the schema that we are not using as filters or attributes on the biomart interface.
Therefore we have removed this and other columns from the homolog dimension tables. On the interface you can still obtain the human ensembl gene id along with the corresponding mouse ortholog gene id. Here is the query you can do on the interface (http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martview):

Database: "Ensembl Genes 70"
Dataset: "Homo sapiens genes (GRCh37.p10)"
1) Filters:
	a) In Gene: Click on "ID list limit" and select "ensembl Gene ID(s)" from the dropdown
	b) Paste your Human gene ids in the box.
2) Attributes:
	Homologs section:
		a) In Gene: 
		Select "Ensembl Gene ID"
		b) In Orthologs, Mouse Orthologs:
		Select "Mouse Ensembl Gene ID"

I hope this clarifies the situation but please get in contact if you have further questions.

Regards,
Thomas
