Hello Andrea, Make a copy of the ~/tools/data_source/biomart.xml for your local biomart install, and change the action in the following tag to point to it. <inputs action="http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martview" check_values="false" method="get" target="_top"> Then add your new biomart tool wrapper to your tool_conf.xml file and start up your Galaxy instance. For details about adding a new tool, see https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/AddToolTutorial. Greg Von Kuster On Mar 26, 2011, at 10:19 AM, Andrea Edwards wrote:

Hello

I have looked at the biomart plugin for Galaxy and this seems to allow access to marts on the biomart central server. Is there anyway to use this plugin to access a biomart on my server if I can't make my biomart available on the biomart central server.

If not, would it be possible to achieve this with galaxy tools. I've heard of galaxy tools but never made one so I don;t know what is involved.

Failing that would i be able to use the biomart plugin to access my server if I had a local installation of galaxy
