biomaRt is a new Bioconductor package that integrates BioMart data
resources with data analysis software in Bioconductor. It can annotate
a wide range of gene or gene product identifiers (e.g. Entrez-Gene
and Affymetrix probe identifiers) with information such as gene symbol,
chromosomal coordinates, Gene Ontology and OMIM annotation. Furthermore
biomaRt enables retrieval of genomic sequences and single nucleotide
polymorphism information, which can be used in data analysis. Fast
and up-to-date data retrieval is possible as the package executes
direct SQL queries to the BioMart databases (e.g. Ensembl). The biomaRt
package provides a tight integration of large, public or locally
installed BioMart databases with data analysis in Bioconductor creating
a powerful environment for biological data mining.
