Usage : $ambig_code = $hit_object->ambiguous_aln();
Purpose : Sets/Gets ambiguity code data member.
Example : (see usage)
Returns : String = 'q', 's', 'qs', '-'
: 'q' = query sequence contains overlapping sub-sequences
: while sbjct does not.
: 's' = sbjct sequence contains overlapping sub-sequences
: while query does not.
: 'qs' = query and sbjct sequence contains overlapping sub-sequences
: relative to each other.
: '-' = query and sbjct sequence do not contains multiple domains
: relative to each other OR both contain the same distribution
: of similar domains.
Argument : n/a
Throws : n/a
Comment : Note: "sbjct" is synonymous with "hit"
overlap
See documentation in Bio::Search::Hit::HitI::overlap()n
Usage : $hit_object->n();
Purpose : Gets the N number for the current hit.
: This is the number of HSPs in the set which was ascribed
: the lowest P-value (listed on the description line).
: This number is not the same as the total number of HSPs.
: To get the total number of HSPs, use num_hsps().
Example : $n = $hit_object->n();
Returns : Integer
Argument : n/a
Throws : Exception if HSPs have not been set.
Comments : Calling n() on such reports will result in a call to num_hsps().
: The num_hsps() method will count the actual number of
: HSPs in the alignment listing, which may exceed N in
: some cases.
See Also : num_hsps()p
Usage : $hit_object->p( [format] );
Purpose : Get the P-value for the best HSP
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 a single HSPI object for the present HitI object.
