[Bioperl-l] HSP tiling problem

[Jason Stajich]

The -links option gives you a logical ordering of non-overlapping HSPs  
so it is the tiling you desire. You just process each HSP from the  
list provided by -links. There may be several alternative paths so you  
can compute a %id for all of them or just take the longest one, etc.

You need to just decide how you want to compute global identity - an  
average of the HSP identities or just sum up the number of identical  
bases across them all divided by the total length of sequence that is  
aligned.  All those pieces of information are available and described  
in the SearchIO HOWTO on the website.

Or, requiring less coding, re-align the sequences with an aligner like  
SSEARCH to get a single alignment and a single %id/%sim number for the  
sequence pair.
