DESCRIPTION
This distribution provides HMMER3 so that it can be used by other Perl distributions that are on CPAN. The source code will be downloaded from the HMMER3 website, if the HMMER3 is not found in the system path. The url used is : http://eddylab.org/software/hmmer/hmmer.tar.gz The program will then be built and installed in a private share location. The build provides the various CLI tools in the hmmer3 AND Easel suites. Note that the Easel tools are also provided by the HMMER3 suite and this Alien assumes that Easel has been previously installed with HMMER3 during a prior system install. If this is not the case, attempt to use the Easel files will terminate any Perl programs that try to use the Easel tools from within this distribution.

HMMER: biosequence analysis using profile hidden Markov models
HMMER is used for searching sequence databases for sequence homologs, and for making sequence alignments. It implements methods using probabilistic models called profile hidden Markov models (profile HMMs).
HMMER is often used together with a profile database, such as Pfam or many of the databases that participate in Interpro. But HMMER can also work with query sequences, not just profiles, just like BLAST. For example, you can search a protein query sequence against a database with phmmer, or do an iterative search with jackhmmer.
HMMER is designed to detect remote homologs as sensitively as possible, relying on the strength of its underlying probability models. In the past, this strength came at significant computational expense, but as of the new HMMER3 project, HMMER is now essentially as fast as BLAST.
HMMER can be downloaded and installed as a command line tool on your own hardware, and now it is also more widely accessible to the scientific community via new search servers at the European Bioinformatics Institute.
