NAME

Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI - Interface for a High Scoring Pair in a similarity search result

SYNOPSIS

    $r_type = $hsp->algorithm

    $pvalue = $hsp->pvalue();

    $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'] );

DESCRIPTION

Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI objects cannot be instantiated since this module defines a pure interface.

Given an object that implements the Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI interface, you can do the following things with it:

SEE ALSO

This interface 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.

APPENDIX

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

algorithm

 Title   : algorithm
 Usage   : my $r_type = $hsp->algorithm
 Function: Obtain the name of the algorithm used to obtain the HSP
 Returns : string (e.g., BLASTP)
 Args    : none

pvalue

 Title   : pvalue
 Usage   : my $pvalue = $hsp->pvalue();
 Function: Returns the P-value for this HSP or undef 
 Returns : float or exponential (2e-10)
           P-value is not defined with NCBI Blast2 reports.
 Args    : none

evalue

 Title   : evalue
 Usage   : my $evalue = $hsp->evalue();
 Function: Returns the e-value for this HSP
 Returns : float or exponential (2e-10)
 Args    : none

frac_identical

 Title   : frac_identical
 Usage   : my $frac_id = $hsp->frac_identical( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
 Function: Returns the fraction of identitical positions for this HSP 
 Returns : Float in range 0.0 -> 1.0
 Args    : 'query' = num identical / length of query seq (without gaps)
           'hit'   = num identical / length of hit seq (without gaps)
           'total' = num identical / length of alignment (with gaps)
           default = 'total'

frac_conserved

 Title    : frac_conserved
 Usage    : my $frac_cons = $hsp->frac_conserved( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
 Function : Returns the fraction of conserved positions for this HSP.
            This is the fraction of symbols in the alignment with a 
            positive score.
 Returns : Float in range 0.0 -> 1.0
 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'

gaps

 Title    : gaps
 Usage    : my $gaps = $hsp->gaps( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
 Function : Get the number of gaps in the query, hit, or total alignment.
 Returns  : Integer, number of gaps 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'

 Title   : homology_string
 Usage   : my $homo_string = $hsp->homology_string;
 Function: Retrieves the homology sequence for this HSP as a string.
         : The homology sequence is the string of symbols in between the 
         : query and hit sequences in the alignment indicating the degree
         : of conservation (e.g., identical, similar, not similar).
