`> library("biomaRt")

> ensembl <- useEnsembl(biomart = "ensembl", 
+                       dataset = "hsapiens_gene_ensembl", 
+                       mirror = "useast")
> annot2 <- getBM(attributes=c('ensembl_gene_id', 'chromosome_name', 'start_position', 'end_position', 'description', 'strand','external_gene_name'), 
+                 #filters ='ensembl_gene_id', 
+                 #values = gene_ids, 
+                 mart = ensembl)
