NAME

       Bio::Search::Hit::HMMERHit - A Hit module for HMMER hits

SYNOPSIS

           use Bio::Search::Hit::HMMERHit;
           my $hit = Bio::Search::Hit::HMMERHit->new();
           # use it in the same way as Bio::Search::Hit::GenericHit

DESCRIPTION

       This is a specialization of Bio::Search::Hit::GenericHit.  There are a few news methods
       next_domain and domains.  Note that bits and iteration make no sense for this object and
       will return 0.

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.

   Reporting Bugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their
       resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

        Purpose   : Get a list containing all HSP objects.
