Bio::Tools::BPlite::Iteration - object for parsing single iteration of a PSIBLAST report

   use Bio::Tools::BPpsilite;

   open my $FH, "t/psiblastreport.out";
   $report = Bio::Tools::BPpsilite->new(-fh=>\*FH);

   # determine number of iterations executed by psiblast

ALIGNMENTS

  # This assumed that you have $db pointing to a database, $out to an output file
  # $slxdir to a directory and $psiout    
  # note the alignments can only be obtained if the flag "-m 6" is run.
  # It might also be necessary to use the flag -v to get all alignments
  # 
    my @psiparams = ('database' => $db , 'output' => $out, 'j' => 3, 'm' => 6,
                     'h' => 1.e-3 , 'F' => 'T' , 'Q' => $psiout ); 
    my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::StandAloneBlast->new(@psiparams);
    my $report = $factory->blastpgp($seq);
    my $total_iterations = $report->number_of_iterations();
    my $last_iteration = $report->round($total_iterations);
    my $align=$last_iteration->Align;
    my $slxfile=$slxdir.$id.".slx";

query

 Title    : query
 Usage    : $query = $obj->query();
 Function : returns the query object
 Example  :
 Returns  : query object
 Args     :

qlength

 Title    : qlength
 Usage    : $len = $obj->qlength();
 Returns  : length of query
 Args     : none

newhits

 Title    :  newhits
 Usage    : $newhits = $obj->newhits();
 Returns  : reference to an array listing all the hits 
            from the current iteration which were not identified 
            in the previous iteration
 Args     : none

oldhits

 Title    :  oldhits
 Usage    : $oldhits = $obj->oldhits();
 Returns  : reference to an array listing all the hits from 
            the current iteration which were identified and 
            above threshold in the previous iteration
 Args     : none

nextSbjct

 Title    : nextSbjct
 Usage    : $sbjct = $obj->nextSbjct();
 Function : Method of iterating through all the Sbjct retrieved
            from parsing the report 
#Example  : while ( my $sbjct = $obj->nextSbjct ) {}
 Returns  : next Sbjct object or undef if finished
 Args     :

Align

 Title    : Align
 Usage    : $SimpleAlign = $obj->Align();
 Function : Method to obtain a simpleAlign object from psiblast
 Example  : $SimpleAlign = $obj->Align();
 Returns  : SimpleAlign object or undef if not found.
 BUG      : Only works if psiblast has been run with m 6 flag
 Args     :

_readline

 Title   : _readline
 Usage   : $obj->_readline
 Function: Reads a line of input.

           Note that this method implicitely uses the value of $/ that is
           in effect when called.

           Note also that the current implementation does not handle pushed
           back input correctly unless the pushed back input ends with the
           value of $/.
 Example :
 Returns :

_pushback

 Title   : _pushback
 Usage   : $obj->_pushback($newvalue)
 Function: puts a line previously read with _readline back into a buffer
 Example :
 Returns :
 Args    : newvalue
