NAME

       Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter - Tab-delimited data for Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI
       objects

SYNOPSIS

   Example 1: Using the default columns
           use Bio::SearchIO;
           use Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter;

           my $in = Bio::SearchIO->new();

           my $writer = Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter->new();

           my $out = Bio::SearchIO->new( -writer => $writer );

           while ( my $result = $in->next_result() ) {
               $out->write_result($result, ($in->report_count - 1 ? 0 : 1) );
           }

   Example 2: Specifying a subset of columns
           use Bio::SearchIO;
           use Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter;

           my $in = Bio::SearchIO->new();

           my $writer = Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter->new(
                                         -columns => [qw(
                                                         query_name
                                                         query_length
                                                         hit_name
                                                         hit_length
                                                         rank
                                                         frac_identical_query
                                                         expect
                                                         )]  );

           my $out = Bio::SearchIO->new( -writer => $writer,
                                         -file   => ">searchio.out" );

           while ( my $result = $in->next_result() ) {
               $out->write_result($result, ($in->report_count - 1 ? 0 : 1) );
           }

   Custom Labels
       You can also specify different column labels if you don't want to use the defaults.  Do
       this by specifying a "-labels" hash reference parameter when creating the HSPTableWriter
       object.  The keys of the hash should be the column number (left-most column = 1) for the
       label(s) you want to specify. Here's an example:

           my $writer = Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter->new(
                                      -columns => [qw( query_name
                                                       query_length
                                                       hit_name
                                                       hit_length  )],
                                      -labels  => { 1 => 'QUERY_GI',
                                                    3 => 'HIT_IDENTIFIER' } );

DESCRIPTION

       Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter generates output at the finest level of granularity
       for data within a search result. Data for each HSP within each hit in a search result is
       output in tab-delimited format, one row per HSP.

   Available Columns
       Here are the columns that can be specified in the "-columns" parameter when creating a
       HSPTableWriter object.  If a "-columns" parameter is not specified, this list, in this
       order, will be used as the default.

           query_name             # Sequence identifier of the query.
           query_length           # Full length of the query sequence
           hit_name               # Sequence identifier of the hit
           hit_length             # Full length of the hit sequence
           round                  # Round number for hit (PSI-BLAST)
           rank
           expect                 # Expect value for the alignment
           score                  # Score for the alignment (e.g., BLAST score)
           bits                   # Bit score for the alignment
           frac_identical_query   # fraction of identical substitutions in query
           frac_identical_hit     # fraction of identical substitutions in hit
           frac_conserved_query   # fraction of conserved substitutions in query
           frac_conserved_hit     # fraction of conserved substitutions in hit
           length_aln_query       # Length of the aligned portion of the query sequence
           length_aln_hit         # Length of the aligned portion of the hit sequence
           gaps_query             # Number of gap characters in the aligned query sequence
           gaps_hit               # Number of gap characters in the aligned hit sequence
           gaps_total             # Number of gap characters in the aligned query and hit sequences
           start_query            # Starting coordinate of the aligned portion of the query sequence
           end_query              # Ending coordinate of the aligned portion of the query sequence
           start_hit              # Starting coordinate of the aligned portion of the hit sequence
           end_hit                # Ending coordinate of the aligned portion of the hit sequence
           strand_query           # Strand of the aligned query sequence
           strand_hit             # Strand of the aligned hit sequence
           frame                  # Reading frame of the aligned query sequence
           hit_description        # Full description of the hit sequence
           query_description      # Full description of the query sequence
           frac_identical_total   # fraction of total identical substitutions
           frac_conserved_total   # fraction of total conserved substitutions

       For more details about these columns, see the documentation for the corresponding method
       in Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI.

TODO

       Figure out the best way to incorporate algorithm-specific score columns.  The best route
       is probably to have algorith-specific subclasses (e.g., BlastHSPTableWriter,
       FastaHSPTableWriter).

   Support
       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.

METHODS

   to_string()
       Note: this method is not intended for direct use.  The SearchIO::write_result() method
       calls it automatically if the writer is hooked up to a SearchIO object as illustrated in
       the SYNOPSIS section .

        Title     : to_string()
                  :
        Usage     : print $writer->to_string( $result_obj, [$include_labels] );
                  :
        Argument  : $result_obj = A Bio::Search::Result::ResultI object
                  : $include_labels = boolean, if true column labels are included (default: false)
                  :
        Returns   : String containing tab-delimited set of data for each HSP
                  : in each Hit of the supplied ResultI object.
                  :
        Throws    : n/a

   end_report
        Title   : end_report
        Usage   : $self->end_report()
        Function: The method to call when ending a report, this is
                  mostly for cleanup for formats which require you to
                  have something at the end of the document.  Nothing for
                  a text message.
        Returns : string
        Args    : none

   filter
        Title   : filter
        Usage   : $writer->filter('hsp', \&hsp_filter);
        Function: Filter out either at HSP,Hit,or Result level
        Returns : none
        Args    : string => data type,
                  CODE reference
