NAME

Bio::Search::HSP::PullHSPI - Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI interface for pull parsers.

SYNOPSIS

	# This is an interface and cannot be instantiated

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

    while (my $result = $in->next_result) {
		while (my $hit = $result->next_hit) {
			while (my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp) {
                $r_type = $hsp->algorithm;
                $pvalue = $hsp->p();
                $evalue = $hsp->evalue();
                $frac_id = $hsp->frac_identical( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
                $frac_cons = $hsp->frac_conserved( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
                $gaps = $hsp->gaps( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
                $qseq = $hsp->query_string;
                $hseq = $hsp->hit_string;
                $homo_string = $hsp->homology_string;
                $len = $hsp->length( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
                $len = $hsp->length( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
                $rank = $hsp->rank;
            }

DESCRIPTION

PullHSP is for fast implementations that only do parsing work on the hsp data when you actually request information by calling one of the HSPI methods.

Many methods of HSPI are implemented in a way suitable for inheriting classes that use Bio::PullParserI. It only really makes sense for PullHSP modules to be created by (and have as a -parent) PullHit modules.

In addition to the usual -chunk and -parent, -hsp_data is all you should supply when making a PullHSP object. This will store that data and make it accessible via _raw_hsp_data, which you can access in your subclass. It would be best to simply provide the data as the input -chunk instead, if the raw data is large enough.

SEE ALSO

This module inherits methods from these other modules:

Bio::SeqFeatureI, Bio::SeqFeature::FeaturePair Bio::SeqFeature::SimilarityPair

Please refer to these modules for documentation of the many additional inherited methods.
