When I use "getBM" of biomaRt package to convert my gene ID, it displayed error reprot as follow:
Error in getBM (attributes = c("ensembl_gene_id", "entrezgene_id", "hgnc_symbol"), :
The query to the BioMart webservice returned an invalid result: biomaRt expected a character string of length 1.
Does biomaRt not support multiple IDs matches now?
Can you provide an example of the code you're running, along with the output of
sessionInfo()
?biomRt should work fine with multiple IDs, this is probably a server side error. The error message most likely indicates it got back nothing (a vector of length 0) rather than something - admittedly that's not at all clear.
Hi, just chiming in here. I am also experiencing the same issue. I have input of the format
Here's what I'm running:
Notably this works on a short test list of IDs, but if I try to convert all, I also get the error posted above, as well as a prompt to post on the forum here. Thanks any help.
