HMMER
From Wiki CEINGE
HMMER HMMER is a freely distributable implementation of profile HMM software for sequence analysis.
How to reach and use HMMER
- HMMER applications can be searched and launched from the Bioinfo website through the PROGsDB.
- Most of HMMER applications can be directly launched by CAPRI.
- In the VLS environment, the HMMER package is fully available for command line use in the directory /bioprogs/hmmer.
Available programs
- HMMER available programs are:
hmmalign: Align multiple sequences to a profile HMM. hmmbuild: Build a profile HMM from a given multiple sequence alignment. hmmcalibrate: Determine appropriate statistical significance parameters for a profile HMM prior to doing database searches. hmmconvert: Convert HMMER profile HMMs to other formats, such as GCG profiles. hmmemit: Generate sequences probabilistically from a profile HMM. hmmfetch: Retrieve an HMM from an HMM database hmmindex: Create a binary SSI index for an HMM database hmmpfam: Search a profile HMM database with a sequence (i.e., annotate various kinds of domains in the query sequence). hmmsearch: Search a sequence database with a profile HMM (i.e., find additional homologues of a modeled family).
