[Bioperl-l] Problem in OMIM parser

[neeti somaiya]

Hi,

I am downloading the OMIM genemap file from here :

ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/repository/OMIM/

I was using the OMIMparser all these days to parse the genemap and omim.txt
files and get the relevant data, and it was working perfect, but today
suddenly I got an exception at the following line of my code :

 my $omim_parser = Bio::Phenotype::OMIM::OMIMparser->new(-genemap  =>
$genemap,-omimtext => $omimtext);

The exception I got was :

------------- EXCEPTION  -------------
MSG: Gene map file "genemap" is not in the expected format
STACK Bio::Phenotype::OMIM::OMIMparser::_read_genemap
/root/BiologicalDatabases/OMIM/OMIMparser.pm:881
STACK Bio::Phenotype::OMIM::OMIMparser::genemap_file_name
/root/BiologicalDatabases/OMIM/OMIMparser.pm:408
STACK Bio::Phenotype::OMIM::OMIMparser::new
/root/BiologicalDatabases/OMIM/OMIMparser.pm:224
STACK main::main parseOmimData.pl:56
STACK toplevel parseOmimData.pl:39

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

Please suggest what I can do now.
