Support

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

 Function: An alias for L<next_hsp()>, this will return the next HSP
 Returns : L<Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI> object
 Args    : none

domains

 Title   : domains
 Usage   : my @domains = $hit->domains();
 Function: An alias for L<hsps()>, this will return the full list of hsps
 Returns : array of L<Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI> objects
 Args    : none

inherited Bio::Search::Hit::GenericHit methods

add_hsp

 Title   : add_hsp
 Usage   : $hit->add_hsp($hsp)
 Function: Add a HSP to the collection of HSPs for a Hit
 Returns : number of HSPs in the Hit
 Args    : Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI object

Bio::Search::Hit::HitI methods

name

 Title   : name
 Usage   : $hit_name = $hit->name();
 Function: returns the name of the Hit sequence
 Returns : a scalar string
 Args    : [optional] scalar string to set the name

accession

 Title   : accession
 Usage   : $acc = $hit->accession();
 Function: Retrieve the accession (if available) for the hit
 Returns : a scalar string (empty string if not set)
 Args    : none

description

 Title   : description
 Usage   : $desc = $hit->description();
 Function: Retrieve the description for the hit
 Returns : a scalar string
 Args    : [optional] scalar string to set the description

length

 Title   : length
 Usage   : my $len = $hit->length
 Function: Returns the length of the hit
 Returns : integer
 Args    : [optional] integer to set the length

algorithm

 Title   : algorithm
 Usage   : $alg = $hit->algorithm();
 Function: Gets the algorithm specification that was used to obtain the hit
           For BLAST, the algorithm denotes what type of sequence was aligned
           against what (BLASTN: dna-dna, BLASTP prt-prt, BLASTX translated
           dna-prt, TBLASTN prt-translated dna, TBLASTX translated
           dna-translated dna).
 Returns : a scalar string
 Args    : [optional] scalar string to set the algorithm

raw_score

 Title   : raw_score
 Usage   : $score = $hit->raw_score();
 Function: Gets the "raw score" generated by the algorithm.  What
           this score is exactly will vary from algorithm to algorithm,
           returning undef if unavailable.
 Returns : a scalar value
 Args    : [optional] scalar value to set the raw score

significance

 Title   : significance
 Usage   : $significance = $hit->significance();
 Function: Used to obtain the E or P value of a hit, i.e. the probability that
           this particular hit was obtained purely by random chance.  If
           information is not available (nor calculatable from other
           information sources), return undef.
 Returns : a scalar value or undef if unavailable
 Args    : [optional] scalar value to set the significance

bits

 Usage     : $hit_object->bits();
 Purpose   : Gets the bit score of the best HSP for the current hit.
 Example   : $bits = $hit_object->bits();
 Returns   : Integer or undef if bit score is not set
 Argument  : n/a

See Also : score()

next_hsp

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

hsps

 Usage     : $hit_object->hsps();
 Purpose   : Get a list containing all HSP objects.
           : Get the numbers of HSPs for the current hit.
 Example   : @hsps = $hit_object->hsps();
           : $num  = $hit_object->hsps();  # alternatively, use num_hsps()
 Returns   : Array context : list of Bio::Search::HSP::BlastHSP.pm objects.
           : Scalar context: integer (number of HSPs).
           :                 (Equivalent to num_hsps()).
 Argument  : n/a. Relies on wantarray
 Throws    : Exception if the HSPs have not been collected.

See Also : hsp(), num_hsps()

num_hsps

 Example   : $nhsps = $hit_object->num_hsps();
 Returns   : Integer
 Argument  : n/a
 Throws    : Exception if the HSPs have not been collected.
