[ensembl-dev] biomart down?

[Paul Rigor]

That's odd. Both the website and webservices are unavailable. And from the
biomart R package, I receive the following error message:


> ensembl = useMart("ensembl",dataset="mmusculus_gene_ensembl")
Request to BioMart web service failed. Verify if you are still
connected to the internet.  Alternatively the BioMart web service is
temporarily down.  Check http://www.biomart.org and verify if this
website is available.Error: XML content does not seem to be XML:


Anyone else encounter this issue? I should probably ping the BioConductor
folks, but this was working until yesterday (Friday, 2/14/2014) afternoon.

Thanks,
Paul
