[BioC] Biomart: Does it support IMAGE clone IDs

[Steffen Durinck]

Hi Daniel,

No biomaRt doesn't support IMAGE clone IDs.  The types of identifiers it 
does support can be seen from the output of the listFilters function, 
note that this can be different for every dataset.
I don't know an alternative way in Bioconductor but you could use:

http://genome-www5.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/source/sourceBatchSearch

to get the gene information starting from IMAGE clone IDs.

Cheers,
Steffen
