NAME

FAST::Bio::Search::Hit::BlastPullHit - A parser and hit object for BLASTN hits

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) {
		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 hit output.

Support

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

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

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::Search::Hit::BlastNHit->new();
Function: Builds a new FAST::Bio::Search::Hit::BlastNHit object.
Returns : FAST::Bio::Search::Hit::BlastNHit
Args    : -chunk    => [FAST::Bio::Root::IO, $start, $end] (required if no -parent)
          -parent   => FAST::Bio::PullParserI object (required if no -chunk)
          -hit_data => array ref with [name description score significance]

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

next_hsp

Title    : next_hsp
Usage    : while( $hsp = $obj->next_hsp()) { ... }
Function : Returns the next available High Scoring Pair
Example  : 
Returns  : L<FAST::Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI> object or null if finished
Args     : none

hsps

Usage     : $hit_object->hsps();
Purpose   : Get a list containing all HSP objects.
Example   : @hsps = $hit_object->hsps();
Returns   : list of L<FAST::Bio::Search::HSP::BlastHSP> objects.
Argument  : none

hsp

Usage     : $hit_object->hsp( [string] );
Purpose   : Get a single HSPI object for the present HitI object.
Example   : $hspObj  = $hit_object->hsp;  # same as 'best'
          : $hspObj  = $hit_object->hsp('best');
          : $hspObj  = $hit_object->hsp('worst');
Returns   : Object reference for a L<FAST::Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI> object.
Argument  : String (or no argument).
          :   No argument (default) = highest scoring HSP (same as 'best').
          :   'best'  = highest scoring HSP.
          :   'worst' = lowest scoring HSP.
Throws    : Exception if an unrecognized argument is used.

rewind

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