Hi Tommaso,
This is a recently discovered error and the BioMart people are looking
into
it.
I've CC'd the bioconductor email list to let others know about the
solution
below.
You need to query the ensembl BioMart directly at Ensembl as follows:
ensembl =
useMart("ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL",dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl",host="
www.ensembl.org")
protein =
getBM(c("entrezgene","peptide"),filters="entrezgene",values=c(100,
5728),
mart=ensembl)
> protein
entrezgene
1 100
2 100
3 100
4 5728
5 5728
6 100
7 100
peptide
