Bio::SeqFeature::Similarity(3pm)

A sequence feature based on similarity

NAME

Bio::SeqFeature::Similarity - A sequence feature based on similarity

SYNOPSIS

    # obtain a similarity feature somehow
    print "significance: ", $sim_fea->significance(), "\n";
    print "bit score: ", $sim_fea->bits(), "\n";
    print "score: ", $sim_fea->score(), "\n";
    print "fraction of identical residues: ", $sim_fea->frac_identical(), "\n";

DESCRIPTION

This module is basically a sequence features based on similarity, and therefore has support for measures assessing the similarity.

Everything else is inherited from Bio::SeqFeature::Generic.

APPENDIX

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

significance

 Title   : significance
 Usage   : $evalue = $obj->significance();
           $obj->significance($evalue);
 Function: 
 Returns : 
 Args    :

bits

 Title   : bits
 Usage   : $bits = $obj->bits();
           $obj->bits($value);
 Function: 
 Returns : 
 Args    :

frac_identical

 Title   : frac_identical
 Usage   : $fracid = $obj->frac_identical();
           $obj->frac_identical($value);
 Function: 
 Returns : 
 Args    :

seqlength

 Title   : seqlength
 Usage   : $len = $obj->seqlength();
           $obj->seqlength($len);
 Function: 
 Returns : 
 Args    :

seqdesc

 Title   : seqdesc
 Usage   : $desc = $obj->seqdesc();
           $obj->seqdesc($desc);
 Function: At present this method is a shorthand for 
           $obj->annotation()->description().
           Note that this is not stored in the tag system and hence will
           not be included in the return value of gff_string().
 Returns : 
 Args    :
