both methods work well.
Thanks,

Hi Tiphaine,
You can follow Vince¹s advice and transform all the data into proper ASCII
character. Or you can just get rid of the culprit (being the @biomart slot
of the object) before serialising. The easiest way to do that is:
foo@biomart <- NULL
The slot is only present to cache the BiomaRt connection, which is lost
anyways when serialising. The object is smart enough to realise that and
just reconnects the next time it is plotted. That is how I handled things
for the serialised BiomartGeneRegionTracks in Gviz.
