Building HMM Profile

The editor has the capability to build a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) profile based on multiple sequence alignments.

This functionality is based on Sean Eddy’s HMMER package.

To build an HMM profile, select the Advanced ‣ Build HMMER2 profile or the Advanced ‣ Build HMMER3 profile option in the Actions main menu or in the context menu.

Learn more about the HMM tool in the documentation pages of the HMM2 and HMM3 plugins.
