=head1 NAME
Bio::Tools::Sim4::Exon - A single exon determined by an alignment
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# See Bio::Tools::Sim4::Results for a description of the context.
# an instance of this class is-a Bio::SeqFeature::SimilarityPair
# coordinates of the exon (recommended way):
print "exon from ", $exon->start(),
" to ", $exon->end(), "\n";
# the same (feature1() inherited from Bio::SeqFeature::FeaturePair)
print "exon from ", $exon->feature1()->start(),
" to ", $exon->feature1()->end(), "\n";
# also the same (query() inherited from Bio::SeqFeature::SimilarityPair):
print "exon from ", $exon->query()->start(),
" to ", $exon->query()->end(), "\n";
# coordinates on the matching EST (recommended way):
print "matches on EST from ", $exon->est_hit()->start(),
" to ", $exon->est_hit()->end(), "\n";
# the same (feature2() inherited from Bio::SeqFeature::FeaturePair)
print "matches on EST from ", $exon->feature2()->start(),
" to ", $exon->feature2()->end(), "\n";
# also the same (subject() inherited from Bio::SeqFeature::SimilarityPair):
print "exon from ", $exon->subject()->start(),
" to ", $exon->subject()->end(), "\n";
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class inherits from Bio::SeqFeature::SimilarityPair and represents an
exon on a genomic sequence determined by similarity, that is, by aligning an
EST sequence (using Sim4 in this case). Consequently, the notion of query and
subject is always from the perspective of the genomic sequence: query refers
to the genomic seq, subject to the aligned EST hit. Because of this,
$exon-E<gt>start(), $exon-E<gt>end() etc will always return what you expect.
To get the coordinates on the matching EST, refer to the properties of the
feature returned by L<est_hit>().

=head2 percentage_id
Title : percentage_id
Usage : $obj->percentage_id($newval)
Function: This is a synonym for 100 * $obj->est_hit()->frac_identical().
Returns : value of percentage_id
Args : newvalue (optional)

}
=head2 est_hit
Title : est_hit
Usage : $est_feature = $obj->est_hit();
Function: Returns the EST hit pointing to (i.e., aligned to by Sim4) this
exon (i.e., genomic region). At present, merely a synonym for
$obj->feature2().
Returns : An Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing object.
Args :
=cut
sub est_hit {
my $self = shift;
return $self->feature2(@_);
}
1;
