[BioC] Cannot connect to unimart using biomaRt

[Dana Pascovici [guest]]

Hi,

I can no longer connect to the uniprot biomart as below; I imagine it has something to do with the Biomart 0.8 release, but could not find any information.  Would you be able to offer any suggestions, or know of any planned outages?

Many thanks in advance,
Dana
