[Bioperl-l] blast best hit

[Frank Schwach]

Yes, best_hit_only is a boolean that can be set to true if you only want
one hit to be returned from the stream of hits (the best hit). I have
never actualyl used this one but you shoud be able to set it in the
constructor as in:
my $blast = Bio::SearchIO->new( ...., -best_hit_only => 1 )
