The compressed version of one of the ASN.1 files
used to build GenBank 116.0 was corrupted during
a disk crash.
No indication of failure was returned during the
file's compression; so it was assumed to be intact
and was installed on NCBI's ftp site last week.
The problem manifests itself if you run NCBI's ASN.1
syntax checker on the file. EG:
zcat gss1.aso.Z | asntool -m /some/path/to/asn.all
-d stdin -t Bioseq-set
[asntool] FATAL ERROR: stdinInput
Bioseq-set.seq-set.E.seq.descr.E.<comment>
Expected 00 after tag for comment
[asntool] FATAL ERROR: stdinInput
Bioseq-set.seq-set.E.seq.descr.E.<comment>
Unable to match element in .E.
We replaced the corrupted gss1.aso.Z with a new
version at 4:10pm EST on Monday, March 6.
Our apologies for any inconvenience that this
might have caused.
