Dear list, Has anyone a pointer on a library that can be used to create annotation packages based on ENSEMBL IDs? Like the tools embedded in 'AnnotationDbi' / 'AnnBuilder', but using info directly available from ENSEMBL instead of NCBI? I do know that biomaRt can be used to query ENSEMBL, but AFAIK this can not be used to build annotation libraries.

Hi Guido, It is true that the libraries built by AnnotationDbi will be NCBI-centric, but I have also recently improved them by also including Ensembl gene IDs. If you need more information, the organism based packages have maps for even more Ensembl information in them (transcript and protein IDs) that you can use in a platform agnostic fashion.
