=head1 NAME

Bio::Matrix::PSM::InstanceSite - A PSM site occurance

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::Matrix::PSM::InstanceSite;

  #You can get an InstanceSite object either from a file:

  my ($instances,$matrix)=$SomePSMFile->parse_next;

  #or from memory

  my %params=(seq=>'TATAAT',
    id=>"TATAbox1", accession=>'ENSG00000122304', mid=>'TB1',
    desc=>'TATA box, experimentally verified in PRM1 gene',
    -relpos=>-35, -anchor=>'CHR7', -start=>35000921, -end=>35000926);

  #Last 2 arguments are passed to create a Bio::LocatableSeq object
  #Anchor shows the coordinates system for the Bio::LocatableSeq object

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Abstract interface to PSM site occurrence (PSM sequence
match). InstanceSite objects may be used to describe a PSM (See
L<Bio::Matrix::PSM::SiteMatrix>) sequence matches.  The usual
characteristic of such a match is sequence coordinates, score,
sequence and sequence (gene) identifier- accession number or other id.

This object inherits from Bio::LocatableSeq (which defines the real
sequence) and might hold a SiteMatrix object, used to detect the CRE
(cis-regulatory element), or created from this CRE.

While the documentation states that the motif id and gene id
(accession) combination should be unique, this is not entirely true-
there might be more than one occurrence of the same cis-regulatory
element in the upstream region of the same gene.  Therefore relpos
would be the third element to create a really unique combination.
