[ensembl-dev] perl api question

[Kieron Taylor]

Hi Gary,

The IDs you are quizzing Ensembl with are unknown to me. I can only find 
them in "dictyBase", which we do not refer to. They may be stable IDs of 
a sort, but not of Ensembl origin, therefore using fetch_by_stable_id 
will return nothing.

The code itself looks ok.

If you have the information readily available, you should try using the 
gene names instead ( ->fetch_by_display_name ), or find other 
identifiers that you can feed into our Xref system. ( 
->fetch_by_external_name )

There is a password for you local database in the script you sent to the 
mailing list. If this is a security concern, you should change it 
immediately.

Regards,
