NAME

       hmm2fetch - retrieve an HMM from an HMM database

SYNOPSIS

       hmm2fetch [options] database name

DESCRIPTION

       hmm2fetch is a small utility that retrieves an HMM called name from a HMMER model database
       called database.  in a new format, and prints that model to standard output.  For example,
       hmm2fetch  Pfam  rrm  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 hmm2index.

OPTIONS

       -h     Print brief help; includes version number and summary  of  all  options,  including
              expert options.

       -n     Interpret  name  as  an  HMM  number instead of a name. Numbering starts at 0.  For
              example, to fetch the first HMM from an HMM  database  called  foo,  you  would  do
              hmm2fetch -n 0 foo.
