Tools And Interfaces To Access Biomart

Question

[Michi]

Hi Biostar Community

I wanted to compile a list of tools and/or interfaces that allow to access and retrieve data from Biomart (central) and was a little surprised as there do not seem to be many. I am sure I am missing a lot of tools.

The idea is to make a community wiki as an answer with a list of all resources that can access the biomart databases.

I just noticed that a community wiki is not possible (anymore/yet ?). Is there a possibility anyone can edit?
