# Bio::Search::Hit::Fasta(3pm)

Hit object specific for Fasta-generated hits

## NAME

Bio::Search::Hit::Fasta - Hit object specific for Fasta-generated hits

## SYNOPSIS

```
  # You wouldn't normally create these manually;
  # instead they would be produced by Bio::SearchIO::fasta
  use Bio::Search::Hit::Fasta;
  my $hit = Bio::Search::Hit::Fasta->new(id=>'LBL_6321', desc=>'lipoprotein', e_val=>0.01);
```

## DESCRIPTION

Bio::Search::Hit::HitI objects are data structures that contain information about specific hits obtained during a library search.  Some information will be algorithm-specific, but others will be generally defined, such as the ability to obtain alignment objects corresponding to each hit.

## SEE ALSO

Bio::Search::Hit::HitI, Bio::Search::Hit::GenericHit, Bio::SearchIO::fasta.
