=head1 NAME
Bio::Matrix::PSM::InstanceSiteI - InstanceSite interface, holds an instance of a PSM
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Bio::Matrix::PSM::InstanceSite;
#Y ou can get an InstanceSite object either from a file:
my ($instances,$matrix)=$SomePSMFile->parse_next;
#or from memory
my %params=(seq => 'TATAAT',
id => "TATAbox1",
accession => 'ENSG00000122304',
mid => 'TB1',
desc => 'TATA box, experimentally verified in PRM1 gene',
relpos => -35);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Abstract interface to PSM site occurrence (PSM sequence
match). InstanceSite objects may be used to describe a PSM (See
Bio::Matrix::PSM::SiteMatrix) sequence matches. The usual
characteristic of such a match is sequence coordinates, score,
sequence and sequence (gene) identifier- accession number or other
id. This object inherits from Bio::LocatableSeq (which defines the
real sequence) and might hold a SiteMatrix object, used to detect the
CRE (cis-regulatory element), or created from this CRE. While the
documentation states that the motif id and gene id (accession)
combination should be unique, this is not entirely true- there might
be more than one occurrence of the same cis-regulatory element in the
upstream region of the same gene. Therefore relpos would be the third
element to create a really unique combination.
