hmmpress(1) HMMER Manual hmmpress(1)NAMEhmmpress - prepare an HMM database for hmmscan
SYNOPSIShmmpress [options] <hmmfile>
DESCRIPTION
Starting from a profile database <hmmfile> in standard HMMER3 format,
construct binary compressed datafiles for hmmscan. The hmmpress step
is required for hmmscan to work.
Four files are created: <hmmfile>.h3m, <hmmfile>.h3i, <hmmfile>.h3f,
and <hmmfile>.h3p. The <hmmfile>.h3m file contains the profile HMMs
and their annotation in a binary format. The <hmmfile>.h3i file is an
SSI index for the <hmmfile>.h3m file. The <hmmfile>.h3f file contains
precomputed data structures for the fast heuristic filter (the MSV fil‐
ter). The <hmmfile>.h3p file contains precomputed data structures for
the rest of each profile.
OPTIONS-h Help; print a brief reminder of command line usage and all
available options.
-f Force; overwrites any previous hmmpress'ed datafiles. The
default is to bitch about any existing files and ask you to
delete them first.
