[Bioperl-l] EXCEPTION: Bio::Root::Exception [From: Silav Bremos]

[Tao Zhu]

Hello! In fact the script doesn't work on my computer either. Probably
it has some problems with the swissprot database. You could try to run
this script as follows:

-----------------------------------------------

use Bio::Perl; 
# this script will only work if you have an internet connection on the
# computer you're using, the databases you can get sequences from 
# are 'swiss', 'genbank', 'genpept', 'embl', and 'refseq'
$seq_object = get_sequence('genbank',"ECORHO"); 
write_sequence(">echrho.fasta",'fasta',$seq_object);

------------------------------------------------

It should work if you've installed BioPerl correctly.

By the way, if you just want to check whether you've installed BioPerl
correctly, you could type such command like

perldoc Bio::Seq

Good luck!
