[Bioperl-l] Bio::Registry & Bio::DB::Flat

[Mike Muratet]

Greetings

I am trying to get index/fetch some fasta files with Bio::Registry and 
Bio::DB::Flat. I created a seqdatabase.ini in $HOME/.bioinformatics 
containing:

VERSION=1.00

[fungal_genomes]
protocol=flat
location=/opt/mmuratet/fungal_genomes
dbname=fungal_genomes

I used the release script bp_bioflat_index.pl to index the files in 
/opt/mmuratet/fungal_genomes and there is a binary key_acc file and a 
config file whose first few lines are:

index   BerkeleyDB/1
format  URN:LSID:open-bio.org:fasta/dna
fileid_11 
/opt/mmuratet/fungal_genomes/fusarium_verticillioides_2.fasta   42688995

I couldn't get my own script to work, so I tried the bp_biogetseq.pl 
script:

bp_biogetseq.pl --dbname fungal_genomes --format fasta \
--namespace acc 'Aspergillus nidulans supercontig 1.5'

Could not find sequence with identifier [Aspergillus nidulans supercontig

Can anyone see anything I've done wrong? It all seems in agreement with 
the documentation. I found a few old threads but I can't see where it ever 
got resolved. I have set the environment variables OBDA_INDEX=bdb and 
OBDA_LOCATION=/opt/mmuratet/fungal_genomes.

Thanks

Mike
