NAME
Bio::Search::Iteration::IterationI - Abstract interface to an iteration from an iterated search result, such as PSI-BLAST.
SYNOPSIS
# Bio::Search::Iteration::IterationI objects cannot be
# instantiated since this module defines a pure interface.
# Given an object that implements the
# Bio::Search::Iteration::IterationI interface,
# you can do the following things with it:
# First, open up a SearchIO stream
use Bio::SearchIO;
my $file = shift or die "Usage: $0 <BLAST-report-file>
";
my $in = Bio::SearchIO->new(-format => 'blast',
-file => $file # comment out this line to read STDIN
);
# Iterate over all results in the input stream
while (my $result = $in->next_result) {
printf "Result #%d: %s
", $in->result_count, $result->to_string;
printf "Total Iterations: %d
", $result->num_iterations();
# Iterate over all iterations and process old and new hits
# separately.
while( my $it = $result->next_iteration) {
printf "
Iteration %d
", $it->number;
printf "Converged: %d
", $it->converged;
# Print out the hits not found in previous iteration
printf "New hits: %d
", $it->num_hits_new;
while( my $hit = $it->next_hit_new ) {
printf " %s, Expect=%g
", $hit->name, $hit->expect;
}
# Print out the hits found in previous iteration
printf "Old hits: %d
", $it->num_hits_old;
while( my $hit = $it->next_hit_old ) {
printf " %s, Expect=%g
", $hit->name, $hit->expect;
}
}
printf "%s
", '-' x 50;
}
printf "Total Reports processed: %d: %s
", $in->result_count;
__END__
# NOTE: The following functionality is just proposed
# (does not yet exist but might, given sufficient hew and cry):
# Zero-in on the new hits found in last iteration.
# By default, iteration() returns the last one.
my $last_iteration = $result->iteration();
while( my $hit = $last_iteration->next_hit) {
# Do something with new hit...
}
# Get the first iteration
my $first_iteration = $result->iteration(1);
DESCRIPTION
Bio::Search::Result::ResultI objects are data structures containing the results from the execution of a search algorithm. As such, it may
contain various algorithm specific information as well as details of the execution, but will contain a few fundamental elements, including
the ability to return Bio::Search::Hit::HitI objects.
Classification of Hits
Within a given iteration, the hits can be classified into a number of useful subsets based on whether or not the hit appeard in a previous
iteration and whether or not the hit is below the threshold E-value for inclusion in the score matrix model.
All hits

New hits Old hits

Occurred in a Occurred in a
previous iteration previous iteration
below threshold above threshold
(H) (I)
Notes: The term threshold in the diagram and descriptions below refer to this inclusion threshold. Below threshold actually means at or
below threshold.
The IterationI interface defines a number of methods for extracting these subsets of hits.
o newhits_below_threshold() [subset D]
Hits that did not appear in a previous iteration and are below threshold in the current iteration.
o newhits_not_below_threshold() [subset E]
Hits that did not appear in a previous iteration and are not below threshold in the current iteration.
o newhits() [subset B]
All newly found hits, below and above the inclusion threshold. This is the union of newhits_below_threshold() +
newhits_not_below_threshold() [subset D + subset E].
o oldhits_below_threshold() [subset H]
Hits that appeared in a previous iteration below threshold and are still below threshold in the current iteration.
o oldhits_newly_below_threshold() [subset I]
Hits that appeared in a previous iteration above threshold but are below threshold in the current iteration. (Not applicable to the
first iteration.)
o oldhits_not_below_threshold() [subset G]
Hits that appeared in a previous iteration not below threshold and are still not below threshold in the current iteration.
o oldhits() [subset C]
All hits that occured in a previous iteration, whether below or above threshold in the current iteration. Union of
oldhits_below_threshold() + oldhits_newly_below_threshold() + oldhits_not_below_threshold() [subset H + subset I + subset G]. (Not
applicable to the first iteration.)
o hits_below_threshold() [subset D + subset F]
All hits, old and new, that are below the inclusion threshold in this iteration. This is the union of newhits_below_threshold() +
oldhits_below_threshold() + oldhits_newly_below_threshold() [subset D + subset H + subset I].
o hits() [subset A]
The union of newhits() and oldhits() [subset B + subset C].
For the first iteration, the methods oldhits, oldhits_below_threshold, oldhits_newly_below_threshold, and oldhits_not_below_threshold()
will return empty lists.
Iterator and numbers-of-hit methods are provided for subsets A, B, and C:
o next_hit_new(), num_hits_new() [subset B]
o next_hit_old(), num_hits_old() [subset C]
o next_hit(), num_hits() [subset A]
