biomaRt
Interface to BioMart databases (e.g. Ensembl, Wormbase and
Gramene)
In recent years a wealth of biological data has become
available in public data repositories. Easy access to these
valuable data resources and firm integration with data analysis
is needed for comprehensive bioinformatics data analysis.
biomaRt provides an interface to a growing collection of
databases implementing the BioMart software suite
(http://www.biomart.org). The package enables retrieval of
large amounts of data in a uniform way without the need to know
the underlying database schemas or write complex SQL queries.
Examples of BioMart databases are Ensembl, Uniprot, Gramene,
Wormbase and HapMap. These major databases give biomaRt users
direct access to a diverse set of data and enable a wide range
of powerful online queries from gene annotation to database
mining.
