[Bioperl-l] Tiling of hsps using Bioperl

[seidl-michael]

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the Bio::Search::Tiling::MapTiling  package. I  
want to get the range of my tilled hsps using the "range" function.  
The reported range is, unfortunately, not what I would expect while  
looking at my data:

 >A
          Length = 1967

Score = 70.1 bits (170), Expect = 1e-11,   Method: Compositional  
matrix adjust.
Identities = 47/110 (42%), Positives = 66/110 (60%), Gaps = 29/110 (26%)

I would expect to get [433,1424] when using:

my $tiling = Bio::Search::Tiling::MapTiling->new($hit);
my @range = $tiling->range('subject');

Instead my array includes [1344,535]. Do I have a conceptional problem  
with the function of "range" or is there something wired happening?

Thanks a lot for any help and suggestions,

Michael
