The literature correlations computation calls the `retrieve_genes` method, that is only present in the `base.data_set.mrnaassaydataset.MrnaAssayDataSet` class, which handles traits of type "ProbeSet".

Should these be present for the full correlations too?
+The failures above with the Publish/Genotype datasets implies one of two things:
+* The code is not general enough, or
+* We need to handle the exceptions, and present the selection errors as appropriate.

+Better yet, we should probably not present invalid data to the user, i.e. do not present user with a dataset which would lead to errors if a correlation of a particular type is run against it with the given trait.
