Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI - Interface for a High Scoring Pair in a similarity search result

    # Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI objects cannot be instantiated since this
    # module defines a pure interface.
    # Given an object that implements the Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI  interface,
    # you can do the following things with it:
    $r_type = $hsp->algorithm;
    $pvalue = $hsp->pvalue();
    $evalue = $hsp->evalue();
    $frac_id = $hsp->frac_identical( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
    $frac_cons = $hsp->frac_conserved( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
    $gaps = $hsp->gaps( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
    $qseq = $hsp->query_string;
    $hseq = $hsp->hit_string;
    $homology_string = $hsp->homology_string;
    $len = $hsp->length( ['query'|'hit'|'total'] );
    $rank = $hsp->rank;

Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI objects cannot be instantiated since this module defines a pure interface.

Given an object that implements the Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI interface, you can do the following things with it:

This interface inherits methods from these other modules:

Bio::SeqFeatureI, Bio::SeqFeature::FeaturePair Bio::SeqFeature::SimilarityPair

Please refer to these modules for documentation of the many additional inherited methods.

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.

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

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.
