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.

Support

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

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

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 = 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 retreive 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
