5 hmmconvert - convert between profile HMM file formats
16 reads an HMM file from
18 in any HMMER format, and writes it to a new file
24 must be different files; you can't reliably overwrite
26 By default, the new HMM file is written in HMMER 2
29 Available formats are HMMER 2 ASCII (default), HMMER 2 binary
33 , and Compugen XSW extended profile
40 Convert to HMMER 2 ASCII file. This is the default, so this option
45 Convert to HMMER 2 binary file.
49 Print brief help; includes version number and summary of
50 all options, including expert options.
54 Convert to GCG profile .prf format.
58 Append mode; append to
60 rather than creating a new file.
68 is not being used to append to the file,
69 hmmconvert will refuse to clobber the existing
76 Convert the HMM to Compugen XSW extended profile format,
77 which is similar to GCG profile format but has two
78 extra columns for delete-open and delete-extend costs.
79 (I do not believe that Compugen publicly supports this
80 format; it may be undocumented.)
