[Bioperl-l] error while remote blast against swissprot db

Mon Apr 16 23:24:32 UTC 2007

What version of bioperl are you using?  I get an error but it is b/c  
the ID doesn't exist.

------------- EXCEPTION: Bio::Root::Exception -------------
MSG: acc KPYK_ECOLI does not exist
STACK: Error::throw
STACK: Bio::Root::Root::throw /Users/cjfields/src/bioperl-live/Bio/ 
Root/Root.pm:359
STACK: Bio::DB::WebDBSeqI::get_Seq_by_acc /Users/cjfields/src/bioperl- 
live/Bio/DB/WebDBSeqI.pm:181
STACK: genpept.pl:21
-----------------------------------------------------------

The actual accession is 'KPYK1_ECOLI'.
