NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

           # 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;

DESCRIPTION

       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:

   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.
