NAME

Bio::Search::HSP::WABAHSP - HSP object suitable for describing WABA alignments

SYNOPSIS

# use this object as you would a GenericHSP # a few other methods have been added including state

DESCRIPTION

This object implements a few of the extra methods such as hmmstate_string which returns the HMM state representation for the WABA alignment. We also must implement a method to calculate homology_string since it is not returned by the algorithm in the machine readable format.

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 = new Bio::Search::HSP::WABAHSP();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Search::HSP::WABAHSP object 
Returns : Bio::Search::HSP::WABAHSP
Args    : -hmmstate_seq => the string representing the state output from WABA

hmmstate_string

Title   : hmmstate_string
Usage   : my $hmmseq = $wabahsp->hmmstate_string();
Function: Get/Set the WABA HMM stateseq
Returns : string
Args    : [optional] string

homolgy_string

Title   : homolgy_string
Usage   : my $homology_str = $hsp->homology_string();
Function: Homology string must be calculated for a WABA HSP so we can do
          so here and cache the result so it is only done once
Returns : string
Args    : none
