[Bioperl-l] Why cannot I get sequences for some entries?

[cacaucenturion2]

Hi,

Thanks for your help! I used GenPept but it did not work (also did not work when I was using Bio::DB::GenPept). I am pasting the code as follows.

use Bio::DB::GenPept;
$gb = Bio::DB::GenPept->new();
$seq = $gb->get_Seq_by_id('162138530');
print $seq->seq."\n";

But it would work if I want to get the id of this sequence by typing 
print $seq->display_id."\n"

are you using Bio::DB::GenPept as your object since it is a protein ID.
