HMMER is used for searching sequence databases for homologs of protein sequences, and for making protein sequence alignments. It implements methods using probabilistic models called profile hidden Markov models (profile HMMs).
Compared to BLAST, FASTA, and other sequence alignment and database search tools based on older scoring methodology, HMMER aims to be significantly more accurate and more able to detect remote homologs because of the strength of its underlying mathematical models. In the past, this strength came at significant computational expense, but in the new HMMER3 project, HMMER is now essentially as fast as BLAST.
As part of this evolution in the HMMER software, we are committed to making the software available to as many scientists as possible. Earlier releases of HMMER were restricted to command line use. To make the software more accessible to the wide scientific community, we now provide servers that allow sequence searches to be performed interactively via the Web.

A file in fasta format is probably the most common way to store sequence info...hwbloom42
A file in fasta format is probably the most common way to store sequence information. The format is very simple: the name of each sequence is
listed on a line beginning with a '>' (the sequence name is everything after the '>'), and the sequence associated with that name is listed on one or
more lines after the name line. For a more detailed description, see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/fasta.shtml. For the examples below,
program output will be shown for the following fasta-format file, called seqs. fa: human ORF Finding: Write a program find0rf s .py that takes the
name of a single fasta-format file from the command line. Your program should read DNA sequences from the fasta file, translate them into protein
sequences, and finally print out the protein sequence of all possible ORFs (open reading frames starting with a start codon and ending with one of
the three stop codons, with no stop codons in between]. You should look at all three reading frames on the forward strand (do not worry about
the three reading frames on the reverse complement). The ORFs your program will be able to find can range in length from 2 amino acids (a start
and a stop) to the entire fasta sequence record (of any length). There may be more than one ORF in each fasta sequence record, possibly in
different reading frames. You do not need to worry about outputting the ORFs in any specific order so long as your output includes all ORFs
present in the sequence. To get you started, think about tackling the problem as follows: Read sequences from the fasta file For each sequence,
translate the reading frames starting at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd base in the sequence For each translated sequence, find any ORFs present in that
sequence Example program usage: python findOrfs.py seqs.fa ORFs in seqA - human: ORFs in seqC - gorilla: MTR ORFs in that sequence

MESSAGE BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE HELLENIC NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR UNESCO EKATERINI TZITZIKOSTA OPENING OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION OF THE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES.
Architecture of the human regulatory network derived from encode dataAnax Fotopoulos
Transcription factors bind in a combinatorial fashion to specify the on-and-off states of genes; the ensemble of
these binding events forms a regulatory network, constituting the wiring diagram for a cell. To examine the
principles of the human transcriptional regulatory network, we determined the genomic binding information of
119 transcription-related factors in over 450 distinct experiments. We found the combinatorial, co-association of
transcription factors to be highly context specific: distinct combinations of factors bind at specific genomic locations.
In particular, there are significant differences in the binding proximal and distal to genes. We organized all the
transcription factor binding into a hierarchy and integrated it with other genomic information (for example,
microRNA regulation), forming a dense meta-network. Factors at different levels have different properties; for
instance, top-level transcription factors more strongly influence expression and middle-level ones co-regulate
targets to mitigate information-flow bottlenecks. Moreover, these co-regulations give rise to many enriched
network motifs (for example, noise-buffering feed-forward loops). Finally, more connected network components
are under stronger selection and exhibit a greater degree of allele-specific activity (that is, differential binding to the
two parental alleles). The regulatory information obtained in this study will be crucial for interpreting personal genome
sequences and understanding basic principles of human biology and disease.
The RET proto-oncogene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase for members of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family of extracellular signalling molecules. RET loss of function mutations are associated with the development of Hirschsprung's disease, while gain of function mutations are associated with the development of various types of human cancer, including medullary thyroid carcinoma, multiple endocrine neoplasias type 2A and 2B, pheochromocytoma and parathyroid hyperplasia.
RET is an abbreviation for "rearranged during transfection", as the DNA sequence of this gene was originally found to be rearranged within a 3T3 fibroblast cell line following its transfection with DNA taken from human lymphoma cells. The human gene RET is localized to chromosome 10 (10q11.2) and contains 21 exons.
The natural alternative splicing of the RET gene results in the production of 3 different isoforms of the protein RET. RET51, RET43 and RET9 contain 51, 43 and 9 amino acids in their C-terminal tail respectively. The biological roles of isoforms RET51 and RET9 are the most well studied in-vivo as these are the most common isoforms in which RET occurs.
Common to each isoform is a domain structure. Each protein is divided into three domains: an N-terminal extracellular domain with four cadherin-like repeats and a cysteine-rich region, a hydrophobic transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain, which is split by an insertion of 27 amino acids. Within the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain, there are 16 tyrosines (Tyrs) in RET9 and 18 in RET51. Tyr1090 and Tyr1096 are present only in the RET51 isoform.
The extracellular domain of RET contains nine N-glycosylation sites. The fully glycosylated RET protein is reported to have a molecular weight of 170 kDa although it is not clear to which isoform this molecular weight relates.
From Smart Homes to Smart Cities: An approach based on Internet-of-ThingsAnax Fotopoulos
Several applications and services have been developed over the latest years for making houses smarter in terms of danger prevention, energy consumption, waste recycling, environmental monitoring and other life improvement implementations. Internet-of-Things (IoT) gave numerous possibilities decentralizing the control of smart homes. Numerous sensors and developed systems or services can all communicate via smart devices like smartphones. A continuously broaden interest arises from local and national authorities for the benefits of applying IoT strategies in whole cities. With main focus on energy and water consumption, cities can reduce significantly their costs and become environmentally and economically sustainable. In the transition from smart homes to smart cities serious challenges should be take into consideration including a human-centric approach and the beneficiary involvement of the citizens for local and national authorities. The design of an IoT strategy for smart cities is a multifaceted procedure which includes the study of economic, urban, demographic and geographical indicators. In this paper, empirical evidence from selected case studies are presented.
The social aspect of Smart Wearable Systems in the era of Internet-of-ThingsAnax Fotopoulos
Social networking (Web 2.0) changed the way of interaction and communication of humans-to-humans, companies-to-customers, universities-to-students and state-to-citizens. The movement from static web pages (Web 1.0) to social networking and the rapid growth of smart devices created a new need for more complex data-on-demand across multiple platforms and devices. Cloud computing, miniaturization of sensors and low energy wireless technologies offered adequate possibilities to measure and understand environmental, health, industrial and other indicators, delivered in smart devices or in the web. The skyrocketing proliferation of the bidirectional communication between sensors and smart devices created a new series of products bringing us to the era of Internet-of-Things (IoT). The ubiquitous computing (presumed as Web 3.0) states that computing will appear in any device and in any location. Smart Wearable Systems (SWS) constitute the latest effort of academia and industry to toward this direction, aiming to enhance the communication and the velocity between IoT applications, smart devices (smartphones, tablets & smart TVs) and social networks. In this paper an analysis over social aspects of SWS is performed. Recent reports show that IoT market will be bigger than the total market of smart devices and PCs combined, enlarging the overall interest.

2. A brief History
Sean Eddy
HMMER 1.8, the first public release of HMMER, came in April 1995
“Far too much of HMMER was written in coffee shops, airport lounges, transoceanic flights, and
Graeme Mitchison’s kitchen”
“If the world worked as I hoped, the combination of the book Biological Sequence Analysis and
the existence of HMMER2 as a widely-used proof of principle should have motivated the
widespread adoption of probabilistic modeling methods for sequence analysis.”
“BLAST continued to be the most widely used search program. HMMs widely considered as a
mysterious and orthogonal black box.”
“NCBI, seemed to be slow to adopt or even understand HMM methods. This nagged at me; the
revolution was unfinished!”
“In 2006 we moved the lab and I decided that we should aim to replace BLAST with an entirely
new generation of software. The result is the HMMER3 project.”
3. Usage
HMMER is used to search for homologs of protein or DNA sequences to sequence
databases or to single sequences by comparing a profile-HMM
Able to make sequence alignments.
Powerful when the query is an alignment of multiple instances of a sequence family.
Automated construction and maintenance of large multiple alignment databases. Useful
to organize sequences into evolutionarily related families
Automated annotation of the domain structure of proteins by searching in protein family
databases such as Pfam and InterPro
4. How it works
HMMER makes a
profile-HMM from a
multiple sequence
alignment
A query is created
that assigns a positionspecific scoring system
for substitutions,
insertions and
deletions.
HMMER3 uses Forward
scores rather than
Viterbi scores, which
improves sensitivity.
Forward scores are
better for detecting
distant homologs
Sequences that score
significantly better to
the profile-HMM
compared to a null
model are considered
to be homologous
Posterior probabilities
of alignment are
reported, enabling
assessments on a
residue-by-residue
basis.
HMMER3 also makes extensive use of parallel
distribution commands for increasing computational
speed based on a significant acceleration of
the Smith-Waterman algorithm for aligning two
sequences (Farrar M, 2007)

Examples
with HMMER
hmmbuild [options] <hmmfile out> <multiple sequence alignment file>
> hmmbuild globins4.hmm tutorial/globins4.sto
Most Used Options
-o <f> Direct the summary output to file <f>, rather
than to stdout.
-O <f> Resave annotated modified source
alignments to a file <f> in Stockholm format.
--amino Specify that all sequences in msafile are
proteins.
--dna Specify that all sequences in msafile are
DNAs.
--rna Specify that all sequences in msafile are RNAs.

11. Basic
Examples
with HMMER
hmmsearch [options] <hmmfile> <seqdb>
Search a protein profile HMM
against a protein sequence
database.
> hmmsearch globins4.hmm uniprot sprot.fasta > globins4.out
Keynotes
hmmsearch accepts any FASTA file as target database
input. It also accepts EMBL/UniProt text format
-o <f> Direct the human-readable output to a file <f>
instead of the default stdout.
-A <f> Save a multiple alignment of all significant hits (those
satisfying inclusion thresholds) to the file <f>.
--tblout <f> Save a simple tabular (space-delimited) file
summarizing the per-target output, with one data line per
homologous target sequence found.
--domtblout <f> Save a simple tabular (space-delimited) file
summarizing the per-domain output, with one data line per
homologous domain detected in a query sequence for
each homologous model.
• The most important number here is
the sequence E-value
• The lower the E-value, the more
significant the hit
• if both E-values are significant (<< 1),
the sequence is likely to be
homologous to your query.
• if the full sequence E-value is
significant but the single best domain
E-value is not, the target sequence is
a multidomain remote homolog

Keynotes
phmmer works essentially just like
hmmsearch does, except you
provide a query sequence
instead of a query profile HMM.
The default score matrix is
BLOSUM62
Everything about the output is
essentially as previously
described for hmmsearch
jackhmmer is for searching a
single sequence query iteratively
against a sequence database,
(like PSI-BLAST)
Iterative protein searches
> jackhmmer tutorial/HBB HUMAN uniprot sprot.fasta
• The first round is identical to a phmmer search. All the
matches that pass the inclusion thresholds are put in a
multiple alignment.
• In the second (and subsequent) rounds, a profile is made
from these results, and the database is searched again
with the profile.
• Iterations continue either until no new sequences are
detected or the maximum number of iterations is
reached.
13. Basic
Examples
with HMMER
jackhmmer [options] <seqfile> <seqdb>
Iterative protein searches
> jackhmmer tutorial/HBB HUMAN uniprot sprot.fasta
• This is telling you that the new
alignment contains 936
sequences, your query plus 935
significant matches.
• For round two, it’s built a new
model from this alignment.
• After round 2, many more globin
sequences have been found
• After round five, the search ends
it reaches the default maximum
of five iterations

UniProt
16. Latest Edition
Features
DNA sequence comparison. HMMER now includes tools that are specifically designed for DNA/DNA
comparison: nhmmer and nhmmscan. The most notable improvement over using HMMER3’s tools is the
ability to search long (e.g. chromosome length) target sequences.
More sequence input formats. HMMER now handles a wide variety of input sequence file formats, both
aligned (Stockholm, Aligned FASTA, Clustal, NCBI PSI-BLAST, PHYLIP, Selex, UCSC SAM A2M) and
unaligned (FASTA, EMBL, Genbank), usually with autodetection.
MSV stage of HMMER acceleration pipeline now even faster. Bjarne Knudsen, Chief Scientific Officer
of CLC bio in Denmark, contributed an important optimization of the MSV filter (the first stage in the
accelerated ”filter pipeline”) that increases overall HMMER3 speed by about two-fold. This speed
improvement has no impact on sensitivity.
Web implementation of hmmer
18. Advantages/Disadvantages
The methods are consistent and
therefore highly automatable,
allowing us to make libraries of
hundreds of profile HMMs and
apply them on a very large scale
to whole genome analysis
HMMER can be used as a search
tool for additional homologues
One is that HMMs do not capture
any higher-order correlations. An
HMM assumes that the identity of a
particular position is independent
of the identity of all other positions.
Profile HMMs are often not good
models of structural RNAs, for
instance, because an HMM cannot
describe base pairs.
