=head1 NAME
Bio::Search::Hit::PsiBlastHit - Bioperl BLAST Hit object
=head1 SYNOPSIS
See L<Bio::Search::Result::BlastResult>.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The Bio::Search::Hit::PsiBlastHit.pm module encapsulates data and
methods for manipulating "hits" from a BLAST report. A BLAST hit is a
collection of HSPs along with other metadata such as sequence name and
score information. Hit objects are accessed via
L<Bio::Search::Result::BlastResult> objects after parsing a BLAST
report using the L<Bio::SearchIO> system.
In Blast lingo, the "sbjct" sequences are all the sequences in a
target database which were compared against a "query" sequence. The
terms "sbjct" and "hit" will be used interchangeably in this module.
All methods that take 'sbjct' as an argument also support 'hit' as a
synonym.
This module supports BLAST versions 1.x and 2.x, gapped and ungapped,
and PSI-BLAST.
The construction of PsiBlastHit objects is performed by
Bio::SearchIO::blast::PsiBlastHitFactory in a process that is
orchestrated by the Blast parser (L<Bio::SearchIO::blast>).
The resulting PsiBlastHits are then accessed via
L<Bio::Search::Result::BlastResult>). Therefore, you do not need to
use L<Bio::Search::Hit::PsiBlastHit>) directly. If you need to
construct PsiBlastHits directly, see the C<new()> function for details.
For L<Bio::SearchIO> BLAST parsing usage examples, see the
C<examples/search-blast> directory of the Bioperl distribution.
=head2 HSP Tiling and Ambiguous Alignments
If a Blast hit has more than one HSP, the Bio::Search::Hit::PsiBlastHit.pm
object has the ability to merge overlapping HSPs into contiguous
blocks. This permits the PsiBlastHit object to sum data across all HSPs
without counting data in the overlapping regions multiple times, which
would happen if data from each overlapping HSP are simply summed. HSP
tiling is performed automatically when methods of the PsiBlastHit object
that rely on tiled data are invoked. These include
L<frac_identical()|frac_identical>, L<frac_conserved()|frac_conserved>, L<gaps()|gaps>,
L<frac_aligned_query()|frac_aligned_query>, L<frac_aligned_hit()|frac_aligned_hit>,
L<num_unaligned_query()|num_unaligned_query>, L<num_unaligned_hit()|num_unaligned_hit>.
It also permits the assessment of an "ambiguous alignment" if the
query (or sbjct) sequences from different HSPs overlap
(see L<ambiguous_aln()|ambiguous_aln>). The existence
of an overlap could indicate a biologically interesting region in the
sequence, such as a repeated domain. The PsiBlastHit object uses the
C<-OVERLAP> parameter to determine when two sequences overlap; if this is
set to 2 -- the default -- then any two sbjct or query HSP sequences
must overlap by more than two residues to get merged into the same
contig and counted as an overlap. See the L<BUGS | BUGS> section below for
"issues" with HSP tiling.
The results of the HSP tiling is reported with the following ambiguity codes:
'q' = Query sequence contains multiple sub-sequences matching
a single region in the sbjct sequence.
's' = Subject (PsiBlastHit) sequence contains multiple sub-sequences matching
a single region in the query sequence.
'qs' = Both query and sbjct sequences contain more than one
sub-sequence with similarity to the other sequence.
For addition information about ambiguous BLAST alignments, see
L<Bio::Search::BlastUtils::tile_hsps()|Bio::Search::BlastUtils>
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
Bio::Search::Hit::PsiBlastHit.pm is a concrete class that inherits from
L<Bio::Root::Root> and L<Bio::Search::Hit::HitI>. and relies on
L<Bio::Search::HSP::BlastHSP>.
=head1 BUGS
One consequence of the HSP tiling is that methods that rely on HSP
tiling such as L<frac_identical()|frac_identical>, L<frac_conserved()|frac_conserved>, L<gaps()|gaps>
etc. may report misleading numbers when C<-OVERLAP> is set to a large
number. For example, say we have two HSPs and the query sequence tile
as follows:
1 8 22 30 40 60
Full seq: ------------------------------------------------------------
* ** * **
HSP1: --------------- (6 identical matches)
** ** **
HSP2: ------------- (6 identical matches)
If C<-OVERLAP> is set to some number over 4, HSP1 and HSP2 will not be
tiled into a single contig and their numbers of identical matches will
be added, giving a total of 12, not 10 if they had be combined into
one contig. This can lead to number greater than 1.0 for methods
L<frac_identical()|frac_identical> and L<frac_conserved()|frac_conserved>. This is less of an issue
with gapped Blast since it tends to combine HSPs that would be listed
separately without gapping. (Fractions E<gt>1.0 can be viewed as a
signal for an interesting alignment that warrants further inspection,
thus turning this bug into a feature :-).
Using large values for C<-OVERLAP> can lead to incorrect numbers
reported by methods that rely on HSP tiling but can be useful if you
care more about detecting ambiguous alignments. Setting C<-OVERLAP>
to zero will lead to the most accurate numbers for the
tiling-dependent methods but will be useless for detecting overlapping
HSPs since all HSPs will appear to overlap.

=head2 signif
Usage : $hit_object->signif( [format] );
Purpose : Get the P or Expect value for the best HSP of the given BLAST hit.
: The value returned is the one which is reported in the description
: section of the Blast report. For Blast1 and WU-Blast2, this
: is a P-value, for Blast2, it is an Expect value.
Example : $obj->signif() # returns 1.3e-34
: $obj->signif('exp') # returns -34
: $obj->signif('parts') # returns (1.3, -34)
Returns : Float or scientific notation number (the raw P/Expect value, DEFAULT).
: Integer if format == 'exp' (the magnitude of the base 10 exponent).
: 2-element list (float, int) if format == 'parts' and P/Expect value
: is in scientific notation (see Comments).
Argument : format: string of 'raw' | 'exp' | 'parts'
: 'raw' returns value given in report. Default. (1.2e-34)
: 'exp' returns exponent value only (34)
: 'parts' returns the decimal and exponent as a
: 2-element list (1.2, -34) (see Comments).
Throws : n/a
Comments : The signif() method provides a way to deal with the fact that
: Blast1 and Blast2 formats (and WU- vs. NCBI-BLAST) differ in
: what is reported in the description lines of each hit in the
: Blast report. The signif() method frees any client code from
: having to know if this is a P-value or an Expect value,
: making it easier to write code that can process both
: Blast1 and Blast2 reports. This is not necessarily a good thing,
: since one should always know when one is working with P-values or
: Expect values (hence the deprecated status).
: Use of expect() is recommended since all hits will have an Expect value.
:
: Using the 'parts' argument is not recommended since it will not
: work as expected if the expect value is not in scientific notation.
: That is, floats are not converted into sci notation before
: splitting into parts.

Usage : $hit_object->p( [format] );
Purpose : Get the P-value for the best HSP of the given BLAST hit.

Example : $p = $sbjct->p;
: $p = $sbjct->p('exp'); # get exponent only.
: ($num, $exp) = $sbjct->p('parts'); # split sci notation into parts
Returns : Float or scientific notation number (the raw P-value, DEFAULT).
: Integer if format == 'exp' (the magnitude of the base 10 exponent).
: 2-element list (float, int) if format == 'parts' and P-value
: is in scientific notation (See Comments).
Argument : format: string of 'raw' | 'exp' | 'parts'
: 'raw' returns value given in report. Default. (1.2e-34)
: 'exp' returns exponent value only (34)
: 'parts' returns the decimal and exponent as a
: 2-element list (1.2, -34) (See Comments).
Throws : Warns if no P-value is defined. Uses expect instead.
Comments : Using the 'parts' argument is not recommended since it will not
: work as expected if the P-value is not in scientific notation.
: That is, floats are not converted into sci notation before
: splitting into parts.

Purpose : Get the logical length of the hit sequence.
: For query sequence of BLASTX and TBLASTX reports and the hit
: sequence of TBLASTN and TBLASTX reports, the returned length
: is the length of the would-be amino acid sequence (length/3).

Returns : Integer
Argument : seq_type = 'query' or 'hit' or 'sbjct' (default = 'query')

: $lenAln = $hit_object->length_aln('query');
Returns : Integer
Argument : seq_Type = 'query' or 'hit' or 'sbjct' (Default = 'query')

Throws : Exception if the argument is not recognized.
Comments : This method will report the logical length of the alignment,

: using amino acid coordinate space (i.e., nucleotides / 3).
:
: This method requires that all HSPs be tiled. If they have not

: $hgaps = $hit_object->gaps('hit');
: $tgaps = $hit_object->gaps(); # default = total (query + hit)
Returns : scalar context: integer
: array context without args: two-element list of integers
: (queryGaps, sbjctGaps)
: Array context can be forced by providing an argument of 'list' or 'array'.
:
: CAUTION: Calling this method within printf or sprintf is arrray context.
: So this function may not give you what you expect. For example:
: printf "Total gaps: %d", $hit->gaps();
: Actually returns a two-element array, so what gets printed
: is the number of gaps in the query, not the total
:
Argument : seq_type: 'query' | 'hit' or 'sbjct' | 'total' | 'list' (default = 'total')
('sbjct' is synonymous with 'hit')

: already been tiled, they will be tiled first automatically..
: Not relying on wantarray since that will fail in situations

Throws : Exception if the requested data cannot be obtained.
Comments : If you need data for each HSP, use hsps() and then interate

=head2 seq_inds
Usage : $hit->seq_inds( seq_type, class, collapse );
Purpose : Get a list of residue positions (indices) across all HSPs
: for identical or conserved residues in the query or sbjct sequence.
Example : @s_ind = $hit->seq_inds('query', 'identical');
: @h_ind = $hit->seq_inds('hit', 'conserved');
: @h_ind = $hit->seq_inds('hit', 'conserved', 1);
Returns : Array of integers
: May include ranges if collapse is non-zero.
Argument : [0] seq_type = 'query' or 'hit' or 'sbjct' (default = 'query')
: ('sbjct' is synonymous with 'hit')
: [1] class = 'identical' or 'conserved' (default = 'identical')
: (can be shortened to 'id' or 'cons')
: (actually, anything not 'id' will evaluate to 'conserved').
: [2] collapse = boolean, if non-zero, consecutive positions are merged
: using a range notation, e.g., "1 2 3 4 5 7 9 10 11"
: collapses to "1-5 7 9-11". This is useful for
: consolidating long lists. Default = no collapse.
Throws : n/a.
Comments : Note that HSPs are not tiled for this. This could be a problem
: for hits containing mutually exclusive HSPs.
: TODO: Consider tiling and then reporting seq_inds for the
: best HSP contig.

=head2 iteration
Usage : $sbjct->iteration( );
Purpose : Gets the iteration number in which the Hit was found.
Example : $iteration_num = $sbjct->iteration();
Returns : Integer greater than or equal to 1
Non-PSI-BLAST reports will report iteration as 1, but this number
is only meaningful for PSI-BLAST reports.
Argument : none
Throws : none
See Also : L<found_again()|found_again>
=cut
#----------------
sub iteration { shift->{'_iteration'} }
#----------------
=head2 found_again
Usage : $sbjct->found_again;
Purpose : Gets a boolean indicator whether or not the hit has
been found in a previous iteration.
This is only applicable to PSI-BLAST reports.
This method indicates if the hit was reported in the
"Sequences used in model and found again" section of the
PSI-BLAST report or if it was reported in the
"Sequences not found previously or not previously below threshold"
section of the PSI-BLAST report. Only for hits in iteration > 1.
Example : if( $sbjct->found_again()) { ... };
Returns : Boolean (1 or 0) for PSI-BLAST report iterations greater than 1.
Returns undef for PSI-BLAST report iteration 1 and non PSI_BLAST
reports.
Argument : none
Throws : none

=head2 strand
Usage : $sbjct->strand( [seq_type] );
Purpose : Gets the strand(s) for the query, sbjct, or both sequences
: in the best HSP of the PsiBlastHit object after HSP tiling.
: Only valid for BLASTN, TBLASTX, BLASTX-query, TBLASTN-hit.
Example : $qstrand = $sbjct->strand('query');
: $sstrand = $sbjct->strand('hit');
: ($qstrand, $sstrand) = $sbjct->strand();
Returns : scalar context: integer '1', '-1', or '0'
: array context without args: list of two strings (queryStrand, sbjctStrand)
: Array context can be "induced" by providing an argument of 'list' or 'array'.
Argument : In scalar context: seq_type = 'query' or 'hit' or 'sbjct' (default = 'query')
('sbjct' is synonymous with 'hit')
Throws : n/a
Comments : This method requires that all HSPs be tiled. If they have not
: already been tiled, they will be tiled first automatically..
: If you don't want the tiled data, iterate through each HSP
: calling strand() on each (use hsps() to get all HSPs).
:
: Formerly (prior to 10/21/02), this method would return the
: string "-1/1" for hits with HSPs on both strands.
: However, now that strand and frame is properly being accounted
: for during HSP tiling, it makes more sense for strand()
: to return the strand data for the best HSP after tiling.
:
: If you really want to know about hits on opposite strands,
: you should be iterating through the HSPs using methods on the
: HSP objects.
:
: A possible use case where knowing whether a hit has HSPs
: on both strands would be when filtering via SearchIO for hits with
: this property. However, in this case it would be better to have a
: dedicated method such as $hit->hsps_on_both_strands(). Similarly
: for frame. This could be provided if there is interest.

=head2 Data Members
Information about the various data members of this module is provided for those
wishing to modify or understand the code. Two things to bear in mind:
=over 4
=item 1 Do NOT rely on these in any code outside of this module.
All data members are prefixed with an underscore to signify that they are private.
Always use accessor methods. If the accessor doesn't exist or is inadequate,
create or modify an accessor (and let me know, too!). (An exception to this might
be for BlastHSP.pm which is more tightly coupled to PsiBlastHit.pm and
may access PsiBlastHit data members directly for efficiency purposes, but probably
should not).
=item 2 This documentation may be incomplete and out of date.
It is easy for these data member descriptions to become obsolete as
this module is still evolving. Always double check this info and search
for members not described here.
