HMMER is an implementation of profile HMM methods for sensitive database
|
|
searches using multiple sequence alignments as queries.
|
|
|
|
Basically, you give HMMER a multiple sequence alignment as input; it builds
|
|
a statistical model called a "hidden Markov model" which you can then use as
|
|
a query into a sequence database to find (and/or align) additional
|
|
homologues of the sequence family.

Hmmer is developed by Sean Eddy at Washington University School of Medicine.
