[Bioperl-l] Suppress warnings for Bio:.LocatableSeq:.end()

[Jun Yin]

Hi, Kevin,

The warning is because Bio::LocatableSeq::end() is using this formula to
check the end coordinate:
End=Start+Length-1

It is possible that the start and end assigned by Ensembl does not fit this
algorithm.

For turning off warnings, I found this comment from one of Chris Fields' old
posts:

If you want to turn off warnings for any bioperl class,  you can set the
object to $obj->verbose(-1), or pass it to the constructor:

my $seqio = Bio::SeqIO->new(‘-file’ => $infile, ‘-format’ => ‘fasta’,
-verbose => -1);

Greetings,

I am using BioPerl to download multiple alignments from the Ensembl
databases. I keep getting the following message:


--------------------- WARNING ---------------------
MSG: In sequence $(...) residue count gives end value (####).
Overriding value [####] with value (####) for Bio::LocatableSeq::end().

where $(...) is an Ensembl transcript ID and the #'s represent digits.

I suspect that BioPerl is complaining about varying sequence lengths.
For my project, this is no concern of mine since I control for it
after downloading. Is there a way to suppress this warning so that it
doesn't clog my terminal feed?

many thanks,
KLK
