[Bioperl-l] Error while running load_seqdatabase.pl

Hi Hilmar, 
   
  I tried the lookup and noupdate options, and also made changes to the SeqProcessor.pm package for the accession, 
  package SeqProcessor::Accession;
use strict;
use vars qw(@ISA);
use Bio::Seq::BaseSeqProcessor;
use Bio::SeqFeature::Generic;
@ISA = qw(Bio::Seq::BaseSeqProcessor);
sub process_seq
{
  my ($self, $seq) = @_;
  my @ids = split(/|/,$seq->display_id);
  $seq->accession_number($ids[0]);
  return ($seq);
}
1;
  I invoke the load_seqdatabase.pl as, 
  perl load_seqdatabase.pl -host localhost -dbname usda-06 -format fasta -dbuser postgres -driver Pg --lookup --noupdate --pipeline="SeqProcessor::Accession" maize_pep.fasta
Loading maize_pep.fasta ...
  I get the error,
-------------------- WARNING ---------------------

  As far as I gather, this error shouldnt appear as we are filtering out the accession as only the first code that appears. Ideas?

  George,

I don't know you create the FASTA file, but that's probably where the 
root cause is. Based on the message:

the identifier and accession number are set, so your SeqProcessor 
scriptlet was executed (otherwise you'd also have seen a dynamic 
loading error it e.g. you perl class could be not be found or loaded 
by perl). If you still receive the duplicate key violation, then it 
can only mean that indeed a sequence with the exact same accession 
number was in the database already.

There are different possibilities for why: you may have loaded the 
same file before (use --lookup and related switches if you want to 
update existing sequences), or your FASTA file contains multiple 
sequences with the same ID, or you have a sequence with the same ID 
in different FASTA files, if you are loading from more than one file. 
In either of the two latter cases, you will need to find a way to 
disambiguate the IDs.

BTW you also want to consider to parse the concatenated ID 
'FGENESHT0000001||AC155633|570|4400|1' apart into its component IDs, 
and then use only one component. For example:

my @ids = split(/|/,$seq->display_id);
$seq->accession_number($ids[0]);

Obviously, this will only make for a nicer accession number, and not 
solve your duplicate ID problem, as the latter is in the file(s) you 
load.
