NAME

Bio::Search::HSP::BlastPullHSP - A parser and HSP object for BlastN hsps

SYNOPSIS

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

    while (my $result = $in->next_result) {
		while (my $hit = $result->next_hit) {
			print $hit->name, "\n";
			print $hit->score, "\n";
			print $hit->significance, "\n";

			while (my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp) {
				# process HSPI objects
			}
		}
    }

DESCRIPTION

This object implements a parser for BlastN hsp output.

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 = Bio::Search::HSP::BlastNHSP->new();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Search::HSP::BlastNHSP object.
Returns : Bio::Search::HSP::BlastNHSP
Args    : -chunk  => [Bio::Root::IO, $start, $end] (required if no -parent)
          -parent => Bio::PullParserI object (required if no -chunk)

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

query

Title   : query
Usage   : my $query = $hsp->query
Function: Returns a SeqFeature representing the query in the HSP
Returns : L<Bio::SeqFeature::Similarity>
Args    : none

hit

Title   : hit
Usage   : my $hit = $hsp->hit
Function: Returns a SeqFeature representing the hit in the HSP
Returns : L<Bio::SeqFeature::Similarity>
Args    : [optional] new value to set

gaps

Title    : gaps
Usage    : my $gaps = $hsp->gaps( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
Function : Get the number of gap characters in the query, hit, or total alignment.
Returns  : Integer, number of gap characters or 0 if none
Args     : 'query' = num conserved / length of query seq (without gaps)
           'hit'   = num conserved / length of hit seq (without gaps)
           'total' = num conserved / length of alignment (with gaps)
           default = 'total' 

strand

Title   : strand
Usage   : $hsp->strand('query')
Function: Retrieves the strand for the HSP component requested
Returns : +1 or -1 (0 if unknown)
Args    : 'hit' or 'subject' or 'sbjct' to retrieve the strand of the subject
          'query' to retrieve the query strand (default)
          'list' or 'array' to retrieve both query and hit together

start

Title   : start
Usage   : $hsp->start('query')
Function: Retrieves the start for the HSP component requested
Returns : integer, or list of two integers (query start and subject start) in
          list context
Args    : 'hit' or 'subject' or 'sbjct' to retrieve the start of the subject
          'query' to retrieve the query start (default)

end

Title   : end
Usage   : $hsp->end('query')
Function: Retrieves the end for the HSP component requested
Returns : integer, or list of two integers (query end and subject end) in
          list context
Args    : 'hit' or 'subject' or 'sbjct' to retrieve the end of the subject
          'query' to retrieve the query end (default)

pvalue

Title   : pvalue
Usage   : my $pvalue = $hsp->pvalue();
Function: Returns the P-value for this HSP
Returns : undef (Hmmpfam reports do not have p-values)
Args    : none
