Problem with useMart specifying the host mar2016 #48

Closed JFerrer-B closed 2 years ago

I'm working with the host mar2016.archive.ensembl.org

It seems it is not available anymore. Is this the case or it will be available again?

I'm afraid the majority of Ensembl archives are only maintained for 5 years, so the March 2016 archive has now been retired.

There's some more details on archive life span available here
