HMMER is a bioinformatics software suite designed for searching and aligning sequence data using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). It is particularly useful for protein sequence analysis and for identifying homologous sequences in large databases. Here are some key features of HMMER: 1. **Hidden Markov Models**: HMMER uses HMMs, which are statistical models that can represent the sequences and structural information present in biological sequences.
