HMMER: biological sequence analysis using profile HMMs

What it solves

It provides a way to search biological sequence databases for homologous sequences using either single sequences or multiple sequence alignments as queries.

How it works

It implements a technology called "profile hidden Markov models" (profile HMMs) to perform these searches.

Who it’s for

It is designed for researchers and developers working on protein family domain databases and large-scale annotation pipelines.

Highlights

  • Uses profile hidden Markov models (profile HMMs).
  • Supports queries based on single sequences or multiple sequence alignments.
  • Integrated into many protein family domain databases and the InterPro Consortium.
