NAME

FAST::Bio::Search::Result::BlastPullResult - A parser and result object for BLASTN results

SYNOPSIS

    # generally we use FAST::Bio::SearchIO to build these objects
    use FAST::Bio::SearchIO;
    my $in = FAST::Bio::SearchIO->new(-format => 'blast_pull',
							   -file   => 'result.blast');

    while (my $result = $in->next_result) {
		print $result->query_name, " ", $result->algorithm, " ", $result->num_hits(), " hits\n";
    }

DESCRIPTION

This object implements a parser for NCBI BLASTN result output.

Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $obj = FAST::Bio::SearchIO::Result::hmmpfam->new();
 Function: Builds a new FAST::Bio::SearchIO::Result::hmmpfam object 
 Returns : FAST::Bio::SearchIO::Result::hmmpfam
 Args    : -chunk  => [FAST::Bio::Root::IO, $start, $end] (required if no -parent)
           -parent => FAST::Bio::PullParserI object (required if no -chunk)
           -parameters => hash ref of search parameters (key => value), optional
           -statistics => hash ref of search statistics (key => value), optional

		   where the array ref provided to -chunk contains an IO object
           for a filehandle to something representing the raw data of the
           result, and $start and $end define the tell() position within the
           filehandle that the result data starts and ends (optional; defaults
           to start and end of the entire thing described by the filehandle)

next_hit

Title   : next_hit
Usage   : while( $hit = $result->next_hit()) { ... }
Function: Returns the next available Hit object, representing potential
          matches between the query and various entities from the database.
Returns : a FAST::Bio::Search::Hit::HitI object or undef if there are no more.
Args    : none

hits

Title   : hits
Usage   : my @hits = $result->hits
Function: Returns the HitI objects contained within this Result
Returns : Array of FAST::Bio::Search::Hit::HitI objects
Args    : none

See Also: FAST::Bio::Search::Hit::HitI

sort_hits

 Title		: sort_hits
 Usage		: $result->sort_hits('<score')
 Function	: Sorts the hits so that they come out in the desired order when
              hits() or next_hit() is called.
 Returns	: n/a
 Args		: A coderef for the sort function. See the documentation on the Perl
              sort() function for guidelines on writing sort functions.
			  By default the sort order is ascending significance value (ie.
			  most significant hits first).
			  *** example

rewind

Title   : rewind
Usage   : $result->rewind;
Function: Allow one to reset the Hit iterator to the beginning, so that
          next_hit() will subsequently return the first hit and so on.
Returns : n/a
Args    : none

get_statistic

Title   : get_statistic
Usage   : my $gap_ext = $result->get_statistic('kappa')
Function: Returns the value for a specific statistic available 
          from this result
Returns : string
Args    : name of statistic (string)

get_parameter

Title   : get_parameter
Usage   : my $gap_ext = $result->get_parameter('gapext')
Function: Returns the value for a specific parameter used
          when running this result
Returns : string
Args    : name of parameter (string)
