[Bioperl-l] retrieval of PRELIMINARY uniprot sequences using Bio::Registry fails

[Daniel Lang]

Hi,

when using Bio::Registry (bioperl-live) to fetch uniprot entries from
local indexed uniprot *.dats, I had to realize that several entries
could not be retrieved despite the fact that they are present in the
files! A closer look reveals that they are of status PRELIMINARY:

uniprot_trembl.dat:ID   Q16EZ1_AEDAE   PRELIMINARY;   PRT;   222 AA.

I don't "grep" PRELIMINARY anywhere in my cvs checkout..
I also can't retrieve the sequences from the online database defined as
follows:
[swissprot_ebi]
protocol=biofetch
location=http://www.ebi.ac.uk/cgi-bin/dbfetch
dbname=swall

Is this a bug or a feature? If its a feature, how can I bypass it?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
