[Bioperl-l] Help with Bio::DB::GFF

[Lincoln Stein]

This is the correct way to do it:


my $segment1 = $db->segment(-name => '4', -start => 200000, -end => 230000);
> my @features = $segment1->features('transcript') or die "no features";


You should also check that you are getting a database handle in $db:

my $db = Bio::DB::GFF->new(-adaptor => 'dbi::mysql',
>                            -dsn => 'dbi:mysql:dmel_gff:123.456.78.90',
>                            -user => 'user',
>                            -pass => 'pass') || die "database open failed";

Are you sure that there are features named "transcript" in that GFF file?
I'm looking at release 4.3, and there are NO "transcript" features listed.
Instead I see genes and mRNAs.
