DESCRIPTION
This object is an implementation of the Bio::Search::Result::ResultI interface and provides a generic place to store results from a
sequence database search.
Unless you're writing a parser, you won't ever need to create a GenericResult or any other ResultI-implementing object. If you use the
SearchIO system, ResultI objects are created automatically from a SearchIO stream which returns Bio::Search::Result::ResultI objects.
For documentation on what you can do with GenericResult (and other ResultI objects), please see the API documentation in
Bio::Search::Result::ResultI.
FEEDBACK
Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the
Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
bioperl-l@bioperl.org
rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address
it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.
