## hmmer-3.1beta2p0 – profile HMMs for biological sequence analysis

## Description

    HMMER is used for searching sequence databases for sequence homologs,
    and for making sequence alignments. It implements methods using
    probabilistic models called profile hidden Markov models (profile
    HMMs). HMMER is designed to detect remote homologs as sensitively as
    possible, relying on the strength of its underlying probability
    models.

    HMMER is often used together with a profile database, such as Pfam
    or many of the databases that participate in Interpro. But HMMER
    can also work with query sequences, not just profiles, just like
    BLAST. For example, you can search a protein query sequence against
    a database with phmmer, or do an iterative search with jackhmmer.
