Function

Convert between profile HMM file formats

Description

EMBASSY HMMER is a suite of application wrappers to the original hmmer v2.3.2 applications written by Sean Eddy. hmmer v2.3.2 must be installed on the same system as EMBOSS and the location of the hmmer executables must be defined in your path for EMBASSY HMMER to work.

Usage:
ehmmconvert [options] oldhmmfile newhmmfile

hmmconvert reads an HMM file in any HMMER format, and writes it to a new file in a new format. The input and output files must be different files; you can't reliably overwrite the old file. By default, the new HMM file is written in HMMER 2 ASCII format. Available formats are HMMER 2 ASCII (default), HMMER 2 binary (-b) GCG profile (-p) , and Compugen XSW extended profile (-P).

Algorithm

Please read the Userguide.pdf distributed with the original HMMER and included in the EMBASSY HMMER distribution under the DOCS directory.

Usage

Here is a sample session with ehmmconvert

Command line arguments

Where possible, the same command-line qualifier names and parameter order is used as in the original hmmer. There are however several unavoidable differences and these are clearly documented in the "Notes" section below.

More or less all options documented as "expert" in the original hmmer user guide are given in ACD as "advanced" options (-options must be specified on the command-line in order to be prompted for a value for them).

Input file format

Alignment and sequence formats

Input and output of alignments and sequences is limited to the formats that the original hmmer supports. These include stockholm, SELEX, MSF, Clustal, Phylip and A2M /aligned FASTA (alignments) and FASTA, GENBANK, EMBL, GCG, PIR (sequences). It would be fairly straightforward to adapt the code to support all EMBOSS-supported formats.

Compressed input files

Automatic processing of gzipped files is not supported.

ehmmconvert reads any normal sequence USAs.

!!AA_PROFILE 1.0
(Peptide) HMMCONVERT v2.3.2 Length: 143 globins50||
   Profile converted from a profile HMM using HMMER v2.3.2 emulation.
   Use -nonor -noave -gap=10 -len=1 with profilesearch and friends
      to get the closest approximation to HMMER bit scores.
   WARNING: There is a loss of information in this conversion.
      Neither the scores nor even the rank order of hits will be precisely
      preserved in a comparison of HMMER hmmsearch to GCG profilesearch.
      The profile score is an approximation of the (single-hit) HMMER score.

Notes

1. Command-line arguments

The following original HMMER options are not supported:
-h         : Use -help to get help information instead.
-a         : Use -format to set HMM output file format. 
-b         : Use -format to set HMM output file format. 
-p         : Use -format to set HMM output file format. 
-P         : Use -format to set HMM output file format. 
-A         : Set append: "N" or append: "Y" for "newhmmfile" in the ACD file 
             instead.  Note you cannot append to an empty file or one in GCG 
             or Compugen (xsw) formats. 
-F         : Always set (an existing newhmmfile will be overwritten).

2. Installing EMBASSY HMMER

The EMBASSY HMMER package contains "wrapper" applications providing an EMBOSS-style interface to the applications in the original HMMER package version 2.3.2 developed by Sean Eddy. Please read the file INSTALL in the EMBASSY HMMER package distribution for installation instructions.

3. Installing original HMMER

To use EMBASSY HMMER, you will first need to download and install the original HMMER package. Please read the file 00README in the the original HMMER package distribution for installation instructions:
WWW home:       http://hmmer.wustl.edu/
Distribution:   ftp://ftp.genetics.wustl.edu/pub/eddy/hmmer/

4. Setting up HMMER

For the EMBASSY HMMER package to work, the directory containing the original HMMER executables *must* be in your path. For example if you executables were installed to "/usr/local/hmmer/bin", then type:
set path=(/usr/local/hmmer/bin/ $path)
rehash

5. Getting help

Please read the Userguide.pdf distributed with the original HMMER and included in the EMBASSY HMMER distribution under the DOCS directory. The first 3 chapters (Introduction, Installation and Tutorial) are particularly useful.

Please read the 'Notes' section below for a description of the differences between the original and EMBASSY HMMER, particularly which application command line options are supported.

References

None.

Warnings

Types of input data

hmmer v3.2.1 and therefore EMBASSY HMMER is only recommended for use with protein sequences. If you provide a non-protein sequence you will be reprompted for a protein sequence. To accept nucleic acid sequences you must replace instances of < type: "protein" > in the application ACD files with .

Environment variables

The original hmmer uses BLAST environment variables (below), if defined, to locate files. The EMBASSY HMMER does not.
BLASTDB   location of sequence databases to be searched
BLASMAT   location of substitution matrices
HMMERDB   location of HMMs

Diagnostic Error Messages

None.

Exit status

It always exits with status 0.

Known bugs

None.
