3 # Demonstrates the use of a SearchIO Blast parser for producing
4 # output of raw HSP data from a Blast report input stream.
6 # Shows how to print out raw BLAST alignment data for each HSP.
9 # STDIN: stream containing one or more BLAST or PSI-BLAST reports.
10 # STDOUT: Raw alignment data for each HSP of each hit (BLAST format)
11 # STDERR: Progress info and any errors.
13 # For more documentation about working with Blast result objects,
14 # see docs for these modules:
15 # Bio::Search::Result::BlastResult
16 # Bio::Search::Hit::BlastHit
17 # Bio::Search::HSP::BlastHSP
19 # For more documentation about the PSI-Blast parser, see docs for
20 # Bio::SearchIO::psiblast

25 # * Implement a Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTextWriter object
26 # that can do this. Then this example can fit into the standard
27 # model used by the other writer examples in which a writer
28 # object is created and hooked up with a SearchIO output object.
36 # In this case, we only want raw alignments, and we only need to screen
37 # on significance info (E- or P-value) so we don't need
38 # to do a full parse of the alignments. Thus, we're using a -shalow_parse
39 # flag to indicate that we don't need to parse alignments. This should
40 # result in faster processing.
41 # TODO: Convert this to use -format='blast'. Shallow-parse option not supported there.
