<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Ensembl Team,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are currently utilizing the Biomart API on a weekly basis for our pipeline, using the following host: <a href="https://www.ensembl.org">https://www.ensembl.org</a> with the URL format: /biomart/martservice?query={query_xml}. However,
we have encountered frequent downtimes and instability with the UK (Sanger Institute) mirror.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a few questions regarding this issue:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Is the UK (Sanger Institute) mirror hosted on-premises?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Are there any data differences between the mirrors located in the UK, US, and Asia?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Could you provide any recommendations on which mirror to use for Biomart on a regular basis to ensure stability and reliability?<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:18.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your time and support.<o:p></o:p></p>
