\name{attributeSummary} \alias{attributeSummary} \title{Gives a summary of the attributes groups and categories} \description{Attributes in BioMart databases are grouped together in attribute groups and attribute groups can in their turn form a higher collection in an attribute category. The attributeSummary function gives a summary of the attribute categories and groups present in the BioMart. These group and category names can be used to display only a subset of the available attributes in the listAttributes function. NOTE: pending on availability from the BioMart web service, groups are currently not available and this function will be replaced by the attributePages function to comply better with the BioMart naming scheme.} \usage{attributeSummary(mart)} \arguments{ \item{mart}{object of class Mart, created with the useMart function.} } \author{Steffen Durinck, http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~steffen} \examples{ if(interactive()){ mart = useMart("ensembl", dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl") attributeSummary(mart) } } \keyword{methods}
