NullPointerException when starting Methylation beta-analysis

[Nicklas Nordborg]

Selecting items, and job options works, but the final registration fails:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "net.sf.basedb.core.ItemSubtype.getName()" because "subtype" is null
        at net.sf.basedb.reggie.dao.Subtype.get(Subtype.java:621)
        at net.sf.basedb.reggie.dao.ReggieItem.findParentBioMaterial(ReggieItem.java:305)
        at net.sf.basedb.reggie.dao.ReggieItem.findSingleParent(ReggieItem.java:337)
        at net.sf.basedb.reggie.grid.MethylationBetaJobCreator.createBetaJobs(MethylationBetaJobCreator.java:122)
        at net.sf.basedb.reggie.servlet.MethylationServlet.doPost(MethylationServlet.java:270)
        at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:652)
...

It seems like this happens when the code is trying to find the parent Specimen item and there is an item in the parent chain that doesn't have any subtype.
