Retrieves information from the BioMart database using an XML query

Description

DEPRECATED! - This function is a low level query function bypassing lots of biomaRts internal controls. It allows for a direct XML query to a known BioMart webservice host.

Usage

getXML(host="http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martservice?", xmlquery)

Arguments

Details

This function has now been deprecated. Similar functionality can be achieved using the unexported function 'biomaRt:::.submitQueryXML. If you are still using this function and this affects your work, please contact the package maintainer at https://github.com/grimbough/biomaRt/issues
