Hi guys,
I'm new on R and Bioconductor packages so my question can sounds a
little basics but I really could not figure out how to use a database
from NCBI in BiomaRt.
I'm working on RNA-Seq reads to perform DE analysis and I'm interested
in Bos taurus database from NCBI version UMD3.1.
So my question is: how to choose the bovine UMD3.1 from NCBI in
BiomaRt? Or the best way to solve this would be to perform the
aligment using the ensembl version?
Just to make me clear I can't find any NCBI databases when I type:
> library("biomaRt")
> listMarts()
If I take a look at ???ensembl??? [ensembl=useMart("ensembl")] so I
can see the btaurus_gene_ensembl dataset. However, as I aligned my
reads against a NCBI version when I tried count the reads, it did not
work ('cause they have different identifiers I guess). The manual
shows a short example using a wormDb but it did not help so much.
