Galaxy wrapper for HMMER3
=========================

This wrapper is copyright 2015 by Eric Rasche

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.
