NAME

Bio::Search::HSP::ModelHSP - A HSP object for model-based searches

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Search::HSP::ModelHSP;
# us it just like a Bio::Search::HSP::ModelHSP object

DESCRIPTION

This object is a specialization of Bio::Search::HSP::ModelHSP and is used for searches which involve a query model, such as a Hidden Markov Model (HMM), covariance model (CM), descriptor, or anything else besides a sequence. Note that results from any HSPI class methods which rely on the query being a sequence are unreliable and have thus been overridden with warnings indicating they have not been implemented at this time.

meta

Title   : meta
Usage   : my $meta = $hsp->meta();
Function: Returns meta data for this HSP or undef
Returns : string of meta data or undef
Args    : [optional] string to set value
Note    : At some point very soon this will likely be a Bio::AnnotationI.
          Don't get used to a simple string!

custom_score

Title   : custom_score
Usage   : my $data = $hsp->custom_score();
Function: Returns custom_score data for this HSP, or undef
Returns : custom_score data or undef
Args    : [optional] custom_score
Note    : This is a Get/Set used to deal with odd score-like data generated
          from RNAMotif (and other programs) where the score section
          can be customized to include non-standard data, including sequence
          data, user-based scores, and other values.

Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI methods

Implementation of Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI methods follow

algorithm

Title   : algorithm
Usage   : my $r_type = $hsp->algorithm
Function: Obtain the name of the algorithm used to obtain the HSP
Returns : string (e.g., BLASTP)
Args    : [optional] scalar string to set value

strand

Title   : strand
Usage   : $hsp->strand('hit')
Function: Retrieves the strand for the HSP component requested
Returns : +1 or -1 (0 if unknown)
Args    : 'hit' or 'subject' or 'sbjct' to retrieve the strand of the subject.
          There is no strand available for 'query', as the query is a model
          and not a true sequence.

seq

Usage     : $hsp->seq( [seq_type] );
Purpose   : Get the query or sbjct sequence as a Bio::Seq.pm object.
Example   : $seqObj = $hsp->seq('sbjct');
Returns   : Object reference for a Bio::Seq.pm object.
Argument  : seq_type = 'query' or 'hit' or 'sbjct' (default = 'sbjct').
          :  ('sbjct' is synonymous with 'hit') 
          : default is 'sbjct'
          : Note: if there is no sequence available (eg for a model-based
          : search), this returns a LocatableSeq object w/o a sequence
Throws    : Propagates any exception that occurs during construction
          : of the Bio::Seq.pm object.
Comments  : The sequence is returned in an array of strings corresponding
          : to the strings in the original format of the Blast alignment.
          : (i.e., same spacing).

        : query and hit sequences in the alignment indicating the degree
        : of conservation (e.g., identical, similar, not similar).
Returns : string
Args    : [optional] string to set for homology sequence

length

Title    : length
Usage    : my $len = $hsp->length( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );

          'list' or 'array' to retrieve both query and hit frames together
Note    : Frames are stored in the GFF way (0-2) not 1-3
          as they are in BLAST (negative frames are deduced by checking
                                the strand of the query or hit)
