NAME

       Bio::SeqFeature::Similarity - A sequence feature based on similarity

SYNOPSIS

           # obtain a similarity feature somehow
           print "significance: ", $sim_fea->significance(), "\n";
           print "bit score: ", $sim_fea->bits(), "\n";
           print "score: ", $sim_fea->score(), "\n";
           print "fraction of identical residues: ", $sim_fea->frac_identical(), "\n";

DESCRIPTION

       This module is basically a sequence features based on similarity, and therefore has
       support for measures assessing the similarity.

       Everything else is inherited from Bio::SeqFeature::Generic.

       User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send
       your comments and suggestions preferably
        to one of the Bioperl mailing lists.  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

APPENDIX

       The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are
       usually preceded with a _

   significance
        Title   : significance
        Usage   : $evalue = $obj->significance();
                  $obj->significance($evalue);
        Function:
        Returns :
        Args    :

   bits
        Title   : bits
        Usage   : $bits = $obj->bits();
                  $obj->bits($value);
        Function:
        Returns :
        Args    :

   frac_identical
        Title   : frac_identical
        Usage   : $fracid = $obj->frac_identical();
                  $obj->frac_identical($value);
        Function:
        Returns :
        Args    :

   seqlength
        Title   : seqlength
        Usage   : $len = $obj->seqlength();
                  $obj->seqlength($len);
        Function:
        Returns :
        Args    :

   seqdesc
        Title   : seqdesc
        Usage   : $desc = $obj->seqdesc();
                  $obj->seqdesc($desc);
        Function: At present this method is a shorthand for
                  $obj->annotation()->description().

                  Note that this is not stored in the tag system and hence will
                  not be included in the return value of gff_string().
        Returns :
        Args    :
