Dear all

The new Ensembl marts for release 98 are now live on www.ensembl.org. If you are using biomaRt, you can change your host to access our most recent data:

ensemblmart98 <- useEnsembl(biomart=“ensembl")

Important: Please note that we had to rename some species to accommodate new species name format. Please find the full list below or on our FTP site, for vertebrates: http://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-98/release98biomartchanges.txt and for non-vertebrates: ftp://ftp.ensemblgenomes.org/pub/release-45/release98biomartchanges.txt
