Function

Retrieve an HMM from an HMM database

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:
ehmmfetch [options] database name outfile

The outfile parameter is new to EMBASSY HMMER.

hmmfetch is a small utility that retrieves an HMM called of a given name from a HMMER model database , in a new format, and prints that model to file . For example, 'hmmfetch Pfam rrm my.file' retrieves the RRM (RNA recognition motif) model from Pfam, if the environment variable HMMERDB is set to the location of the Pfam database. The retrieved HMM file is written in HMMER 2 ASCII format. The database must have an associated GSI index file. To index an HMM database, use the program hmmindex.

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 ehmmfetch 


% ehmmfetch ../ehmmindex-ex-keep/myhmmso pkinase pkinase.ehmmfetch 
Retrieve an HMM from an HMM database.


/shared/software/bin/hmmfetch ../ehmmindex-ex-keep/myhmmso pkinase > pkinase.ehmmfetch

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). 

Retrieve an HMM from an HMM database.
Version: EMBOSS:6.3.0

   Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers:
  [-database]          infile     HMMER hmm database file
  [-name]              string     Entry name (Any string)
  [-outfile]           outfile    [*.ehmmfetch] HMMER hidden markov model
                                  output file

   Additional (Optional) qualifiers: (none)
   Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers:
   -nhmm               boolean    Interpret name as an HMM number instead of a
                                  name. Numbering starts at 0. For example,
                                  to fetch the frst HMM from an HMM database
                                  called foo, you would do 'hmmfetch -n 0
                                  foo'.

   Associated qualifiers:

   "-outfile" associated qualifiers
   -odirectory3        string     Output directory

   General qualifiers:
   -auto               boolean    Turn off prompts
   -stdout             boolean    Write first file to standard output

                                  first file to standard output
   -options            boolean    Prompt for standard and additional values
   -debug              boolean    Write debug output to program.dbg
   -verbose            boolean    Report some/full command line options
   -help               boolean    Report command line options and exit. More
                                  information on associated and general
                                  qualifiers can be found with -help -verbose
   -warning            boolean    Report warnings
   -error              boolean    Report errors
   -fatal              boolean    Report fatal errors
   -die                boolean    Report dying program messages
   -version            boolean    Report version number and exit

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.

ehmmfetch reads any normal sequence USAs.

Notes

1. Command-line arguments

The following original HMMER options are not supported: 
-h         : Use -help to get help information instead.
-n         : Use -nhmm instead (-n causes problems for GUI developers)

The following additional options are provided: 

-outfile   : Output file with HMM.

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.
