=head1 NAME
Bio::Search::Hit::HMMERHit - A Hit module for HMMER hits
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Bio::Search::Hit::HMMERHit;
my $hit = new Bio::Search::Hit::HMMERHit;
# use it in the same way as Bio::Search::Hit::GenericHit
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a specialization of L. There
are a few news methods L and L. Note that
L and L make no sense for this object and will
return 0.

=head2 new
Title : new
Usage : my $obj = new Bio::Search::Hit::HMMERHit();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Search::Hit::HMMERHit object
Returns : Bio::Search::Hit::HMMERHit
Args :
Plus the Bio::Search::Hit::GenericHit inherited params
-name => Name of Hit (required)
-description => Description (optional)
-accession => Accession number (optional)
-length => Length of the Hit (optional)
-score => Raw Score for the Hit (optional)
-significance => Significance value for the Hit (optional)
-algorithm => Algorithm used (BLASTP, FASTX, etc...)
-hsps => Array ref of HSPs for this Hit.
=cut
=head2 next_domain
Title : next_domain
Usage : my $domain = $hit->next_domain();
Function: An alias for L, this will return the next HSP
Returns : L object
Args : none
=cut
sub next_domain{ shift->next_hsp }
=head2 domains
Title : domains
Usage : my @domains = $hit->domains();
Function: An alias for L, this will return the full list of hsps
Returns : array of L objects
Args : none
=cut
sub domains{ shift->hsps() }
=head2 inherited Bio::Search::Hit::GenericHit methods
=cut
=head2 add_hsp
Title : add_hsp
Usage : $hit->add_hsp($hsp)
Function: Add a HSP to the collection of HSPs for a Hit
Returns : number of HSPs in the Hit
Args : Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI object
=cut
=head2 Bio::Search::Hit::HitI methods
=cut
=head2 name
Title : name
Usage : $hit_name = $hit->name();
Function: returns the name of the Hit sequence
Returns : a scalar string
Args : [optional] scalar string to set the name
=cut
=head2 accession
Title : accession
Usage : $acc = $hit->accession();
Function: Retrieve the accession (if available) for the hit
Returns : a scalar string (empty string if not set)
Args : none
=cut
=head2 description
Title : description
Usage : $desc = $hit->description();
Function: Retrieve the description for the hit
Returns : a scalar string
Args : [optional] scalar string to set the descrition
=cut
=head2 length
Title : length
Usage : my $len = $hit->length
Function: Returns the length of the hit
Returns : integer
Args : [optional] integer to set the length
=cut
=head2 algorithm
Title : algorithm
Usage : $alg = $hit->algorithm();
Function: Gets the algorithm specification that was used to obtain the hit
For BLAST, the algorithm denotes what type of sequence was aligned
against what (BLASTN: dna-dna, BLASTP prt-prt, BLASTX translated
dna-prt, TBLASTN prt-translated dna, TBLASTX translated
dna-translated dna).
Returns : a scalar string
Args : [optional] scalar string to set the algorithm
=cut
=head2 raw_score
Title : raw_score
Usage : $score = $hit->raw_score();
Function: Gets the "raw score" generated by the algorithm. What
this score is exactly will vary from algorithm to algorithm,
returning undef if unavailable.
Returns : a scalar value
Args : [optional] scalar value to set the raw score
=cut
=head2 significance
Title : significance
Usage : $significance = $hit->significance();
Function: Used to obtain the E or P value of a hit, i.e. the probability that
this particular hit was obtained purely by random chance. If
information is not available (nor calculatable from other
information sources), return undef.
Returns : a scalar value or undef if unavailable
Args : [optional] scalar value to set the significance
=cut
=head2 bits
Usage : $hit_object->bits();
Purpose : Gets the bit score of the best HSP for the current hit.
Example : $bits = $hit_object->bits();
Returns : Integer or undef if bit score is not set
Argument : n/a
See Also : L
=cut
sub bits { return 0 }
=head2 next_hsp
Title : next_hsp
Usage : while( $hsp = $obj->next_hsp()) { ... }
Function : Returns the next available High Scoring Pair
Example :
Returns : Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI object or null if finished
Args : none
=cut
=head2 hsps
Usage : $hit_object->hsps();
Purpose : Get a list containing all HSP objects.
: Get the numbers of HSPs for the current hit.
Example : @hsps = $hit_object->hsps();
: $num = $hit_object->hsps(); # alternatively, use num_hsps()
Returns : Array context : list of Bio::Search::HSP::BlastHSP.pm objects.
: Scalar context: integer (number of HSPs).
: (Equivalent to num_hsps()).
Argument : n/a. Relies on wantarray
Throws : Exception if the HSPs have not been collected.
See Also : L, L
=cut
=head2 num_hsps
Usage : $hit_object->num_hsps();
Purpose : Get the number of HSPs for the present Blast hit.
Example : $nhsps = $hit_object->num_hsps();
Returns : Integer
Argument : n/a
Throws : Exception if the HSPs have not been collected.
See Also : L
=cut
=head2 rewind
Title : rewind
Usage : $hit->rewind;
Function: Allow one to reset the HSP iteration to the beginning
Since this is an in-memory implementation
Returns : none
Args : none
=cut
=head2 iteration
Title : iteration
Usage : $obj->iteration($newval)
Function: PSI-BLAST iteration
Returns : value of iteration
Args : newvalue (optional)
=cut
sub iteration { return 0 }
