Description
HMMER is used for searching sequence databases for homologsof protein sequences, and for making protein sequence alignments. Itimplements methods using probabilistic models called profile hidden Markovmodels (profile HMMs). Compared to BLAST, FASTA, and other sequencealignment and database search tools based on older scoring methodology,HMMER aims to be significantly more accurate and more able to detect remotehomologs because of the strength of its underlying mathematical models. In thepast, this strength came at significant computational expense, but in the newHMMER3 project, HMMER is now essentially as fast as BLAST.
