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

# 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";

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.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : significance
Usage : $evalue = $obj->significance();
$obj->significance($evalue);
Function:
Returns :
Args :
Title : bits
Usage : $bits = $obj->bits();
$obj->bits($value);
Function:
Returns :
Args :
Title : frac_identical
Usage : $fracid = $obj->frac_identical();
$obj->frac_identical($value);
Function:
Returns :
Args :
Title : seqlength
Usage : $len = $obj->seqlength();
$obj->seqlength($len);
Function:
Returns :
Args :
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().
