Bio::Search::Hit::HmmpfamHit(3)

NAME
Bio::Search::Hit::HmmpfamHit - A parser and hit object for hmmpfam hits

SYNOPSIS
    # generally we use Bio::SearchIO to build these objects
    use Bio::SearchIO;
    my $in = Bio::SearchIO->new(-format => 'hmmer_pull',
                                                           -file   => 'result.hmmer');

    while (my $result = $in->next_result) {
                while (my $hit = $result->next_hit) {
                        print $hit->name, "\n";
                        print $hit->score, "\n";
                        print $hit->significance, "\n";

                        while (my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp) {
                                # process HSPI objects
                        }
                }
    }

DESCRIPTION
This object implements a parser for hmmpfam hit output, a program in the HMMER package.

FEEDBACK

  Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

  Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

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 = Bio::Search::Hit::HmmpfamHit->new();
 Function: Builds a new Bio::Search::Hit::HmmpfamHit object.
 Returns : Bio::Search::Hit::HmmpfamHit
 Args    : -chunk    => [Bio::Root::IO, $start, $end] (required if no -parent)
           -parent   => Bio::PullParserI object (required if no -chunk)
           -hit_data => array ref with [name description score significance
                                                num_hsps rank]

           where the array ref provided to -chunk contains an IO object
           for a filehandle to something representing the raw data of the
           hit, and $start and $end define the tell() position within the
           filehandle that the hit data starts and ends (optional; defaults
           to start and end of the entire thing described by the filehandle)

  next_hsp
 Title    : next_hsp
 Usage    : while( $hsp = $obj->next_hsp()) { ... }
 Function : Returns the next available High Scoring Pair
 Example  :
 Returns  : L<Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI> object or null if finished
 Args     : none

  next_domain
 Title   : next_domain
 Usage   : my $domain = $hit->next_domain();
 Function: An alias for L<next_hsp()>, this will return the next HSP
 Returns : L<Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI> object
 Args    : none

  hsps
 Usage     : $hit_object->hsps();
 Purpose   : Get a list containing all HSP objects.
 Example   : @hsps = $hit_object->hsps();
 Returns   : list of L<Bio::Search::HSP::BlastHSP> objects.
 Argument  : none

  domains
 Title   : domains
 Usage   : my @domains = $hit->domains();
 Function: An alias for L<hsps()>, this will return the full list of hsps
 Returns : array of L<Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI> objects
 Args    : none

  hsp
 Usage     : $hit_object->hsp( [string] );
 Purpose   : Get a single HSPI object for the present HitI object.
 Example   : $hspObj  = $hit_object->hsp;  # same as 'best'
           : $hspObj  = $hit_object->hsp('best');
           : $hspObj  = $hit_object->hsp('worst');
 Returns   : Object reference for a L<Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI> object.
 Argument  : String (or no argument).
           :   No argument (default) = highest scoring HSP (same as 'best').
           :   'best'  = highest scoring HSP.
           :   'worst' = lowest scoring HSP.
 Throws    : Exception if an unrecognized argument is used.

  rewind
 Title   : rewind
 Usage   : $result->rewind;
 Function: Allow one to reset the Hit iterator to the beginning, so that
           next_hit() will subsequently return the first hit and so on.
 Returns : n/a
 Args    : none

  strand
 Usage     : $sbjct->strand( [seq_type] );
 Purpose   : Gets the strand(s) for the query, sbjct, or both sequences.
           : For hmmpfam, the answers are always 1 (forward strand).
 Example   : $qstrand = $sbjct->strand('query');
           : $sstrand = $sbjct->strand('hit');
           : ($qstrand, $sstrand) = $sbjct->strand();
 Returns   : scalar context: integer '1'
           : array context without args: list of two strings (1, 1)
           : Array context can be "induced" by providing an argument of 'list'
                   : or 'array'.
 Argument  : In scalar context: seq_type = 'query' or 'hit' or 'sbjct' (default
           : = 'query') ('sbjct' is synonymous with 'hit')

  frac_aligned_query
 Usage     : $hit_object->frac_aligned_query();
 Purpose   : Get the fraction of the query sequence which has been aligned
           : across all HSPs (not including intervals between non-overlapping
           : HSPs).
 Example   : $frac_alnq = $hit_object->frac_aligned_query();
 Returns   : undef (the length of query sequences is unknown in Hmmpfam reports)
 Argument  : none
