  Description     : sensitive protein sequence searching based on HMM-HMM 
alignment

The HH-suite is an open-source software package for sensitive protein sequence 
searching based on the
pairwise alignment of hidden Markov models (HMMs). It contains HHsearch and 
HHblits
among other programs and utilities.
.
HHsearch takes as input a multiple sequence alignment (MSA)
or profile HMM and searches a database of HMMs (e.g. PDB, Pfam, or InterPro) 
for homologous
proteins. HHsearch is often used for protein structure prediction to detect 
homologous templates
and to build highly accurate query-template pairwise alignments for homology 
modeling.
.
HHblits can build high-quality MSAs starting from single sequences or from 
MSAs. It transforms these into a query HMM
and, using an iterative search strategy, adds significantly similar sequences 
from the previous search
to the updated query HMM for the next search iteration. Compared to PSI-BLAST, 
HHblits is
faster, up to twice as sensitive and produces more accurate alignments.
