[Bioperl-l] Issues with CLUSTALW

[Sarah Tincher]

Hello,

I am new to BioPerl and have no computer science background.  I am taking a
bioinformatics course and I have an assignment to write a BioPerl script to
perform the MSA of a specific six sequences, retrieving the sequences from
NCBI and using CLUSTALW.

This is the script I wrote based on a lecture from my course:

#!usr/bin/perl 
use Bio::DB::GenBank;
use Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Clustalw;
$gb = new Bio::DB::GenBank();
$seq1 = $gb->get_Seq_by_acc('NP_000509.1');
$seq2 = $gb->get_Seq_by_acc('XP_508242.1');
$seq3 = $gb->get_Seq_by_acc('XP_537902.1');
$seq4 = $gb->get_Seq_by_acc('XP_001252211.2');
$seq5 = $gb->get_Seq_by_acc('NP_032246.2');
$seq6 = $gb->get_Seq_by_acc('NP_942071.1');
$factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Clustalw->new;
@seq_array = ($seq1, $seq2, $seq3, $seq4, $seq5, $seq6);
$seq_array_ref = \@seq_array;
$aln = $factory->align($seq_array_ref);
print "$aln\n";

And this is the error that I receive:

I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Thank you,
