R Documentation

lists the available BioMart databases hosted by Ensembl

This function returns a list of BioMart databases hosted by Ensembl. To establish a connection use the useMart function.

listEnsembl(mart = NULL,host = "www.ensembl.org", version = NULL, 
                   GRCh = NULL, mirror = NULL, verbose = FALSE)

`mart`	mart object created with the useEnsembl function. This is optional, as you usually use `listMarts` to see which marts there are to connect to.
`host`	Host to connect to if different then www.ensembl.org
`version`	Ensembl version to connect to when wanting to connect to an archived Ensembl version
`GRCh`	GRCh version to connect to if not the current GRCh38, currently this can only be 37
`mirror`	Specify an Ensembl mirror to connect to. The valid options here are 'www', 'uswest', 'useast', 'asia'. If no mirror is specified the default will be used which redirects you to the closest mirror to your location.
`verbose`	Give detailed output of what the method is doing, for debugging purposes
