[Bioperl-l] how to get the information of Strand = Plus / Plus from blastn report by bioperl.

[Frank Schwach]

Hi Pawan,

Can you show your code? Is it basically following the structure shown in
http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/HOWTO:SearchIO#Using_SearchIO
?

If that is the case

$hsp->strand('query')


is exactly what you need.
To check if hit and query are on different strands you can do:

if ( $hsp->strand('query')
* $hsp->strand('hit') == -1){

   # do whatever you need to do if they are on opposite strands

}

Hope that helps

Frank
