[ensembl-dev] find_leaf_by_name in ensembl Metazoa

[Moretti Sébastien]

Hi

with ensembl API 69, or previous APIs, I used to get a leaf object with 
this function:
     my $leaf = $tree->find_leaf_by_name($seq_name);
     print $leaf->node_id;

I've never got problems with ensembl vertebrate data.


I tried the same script with Ensembl Metazoa and got this error message:
     Can't call method "node_id" on an undefined value
or
     Use of uninitialized value $leaf in concatenation
$leaf appears to be undefined, find_leaf_by_name returns undef.


Do you have an explanation for this ?
Regards

e.g.
     my $leaf = $tree->find_leaf_by_name('ADAR011299');
     in EMGT00050000000001 gene family
