[Bioperl-l] error while remote blast against swissprot db

Mon Apr 16 20:42:37 UTC 2007

hi 
i tried the following code just to check the network, and it worked fine
except for the SwissProt part, for which i got the error message instead of
the sequence:

------------- EXCEPTION  -------------
MSG: swissprot stream with no ID. Not swissprot in my book
STACK Bio::SeqIO::swiss::next_seq
/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/Bio/SeqIO/swiss.pm:179
STACK Bio::DB::WebDBSeqI::get_Seq_by_acc
/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/Bio/DB/WebDBSeqI.pm:187
STACK toplevel bbbbb.pl:21
--------------------------------------

#### check #####
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Bio::DB::GenBank;
use Bio::DB::SwissProt;
use Bio::DB::GenPept;
use Bio::SeqIO;

my $genpeptdb = new Bio::DB::GenPept();
my $genbankdb = new Bio::DB::GenBank();
my $swissdb = new Bio::DB::SwissProt();

my $seqio = new Bio::SeqIO(-format => 'fasta',
                           -fh     => \*STDOUT);

my $protseq = $genpeptdb->get_Seq_by_acc('O26717');
$seqio->write_seq($protseq);

my $seq = $genbankdb->get_Seq_by_acc('AF303112');
$seqio->write_seq($seq);

$protseq = $swissdb->get_Seq_by_acc('KPY1_ECOLI');
$seqio->write_seq($protseq);

thanks a lot.
