NAME

       hmmpress - prepare a profile database for hmmscan

SYNOPSIS

       hmmpress [options] hmmfile

DESCRIPTION

       Constructs  binary compressed datafiles for hmmscan, starting from a profile database hmmfile in standard
       HMMER3 format.  The hmmpress step is required for hmmscan to work.

       Four files are created: hmmfile.h3m, hmmfile.h3i, hmmfile.h3f, and  hmmfile.h3p.   The  hmmfile.h3m  file
       contains  the profile HMMs and their annotation in a binary format.  The hmmfile.h3i file is an SSI index
       for the hmmfile.h3m file.  The hmmfile.h3f  file  contains  precomputed  data  structures  for  the  fast
       heuristic  filter  (the  MSV  filter).  The hmmfile.h3p file contains precomputed data structures for the
       rest of each profile.

       hmmfile may not be '-' (dash); running hmmpress on a standard input stream rather  than  a  file  is  not
       allowed.

OPTIONS

       -h     Help; print a brief reminder of command line usage and all available options.

       -f     Force;  overwrites  any previous hmmpress'ed datafiles. The default is to bitch about any existing
              files and ask you to delete them first.
