+ <strong>HMMER Menu</strong>
+</p>
+<p>This menu is available if hmmbuild tools have been installed and configured in the
+<a href="../features/preferences.html#hmmer">HMMER Preferences</a> panel.
+ <br><br>
+
+ <strong>hmmbuild</strong>
+ <br><br>Run hmmbuild to create a Hidden Markov Model profile of your sequence alignment or sub-groups.
+ <br><br>The consensus sequence for the computed profile is inserted as the first sequence of
+ the alignment (or group) for which hmmbuild is run.
+ <br>Jalview also computes and displays an annotation below the alignment, showing
+ the information content of each column.
+ <br>This is calculated as the sum over residue symbols of
+ <pre>
+ match emission probability * log(match emission probability / background frequency) / log(2)
+ </pre>
+ where the background frequencies are taken from (tbc: where? not https://www.ebi.ac.uk/uniprot/TrEMBLstats)
+ <ul>
+ <li>Edit settings and run...
+ <br><br>Choose whether to run hmmbuild for the whole alignment, or all or selected groups, or both
+ (default is the alignment).
+ <br>Optionally enter a name to give the HMM profile consensus sequence
+ (default is "Alignment" or group name, with "_HMM" appended).
+ <br>Use Reference Annotation: select this option if your alignment has an RF reference annotation,
+ and you wish to constrain the HMM profile to it (hmmbuild option '--hand').
+ <br><br></li>
+ <li>hmmbuild with default settings
+ <br><br>Runs hmmbuild for the whole alignment.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <strong>hmmalign</strong> and <strong>hmmsearch</strong> require an HMM consensus sequence to be selected first.
+ <br><em>To do this, right-click on the name of an HMM sequence added by hmmbuild, and 'Select HMM'.
+ The alignment will be with respect to the HMM profile for the consensus sequence.</em>
+ <br><br>
+ <strong>hmmalign</strong>
+ <br><br>Run hmmalign to align selected sequences (or the whole alignment) to a selected HMM profile.
+ <ul>
+ <li>Edit settings and run...
+ <br><br>Choose whether to 'trim non-matching termini' - hmmalign option '--trim'.
+ <br><br></li>
+ <li>hmmalign with default settings</li>
+ </ul>
+ <strong>hmmsearch</strong>
+ <br><br>Run hmmsearch to use an HMM profile as input to search a sequence database.
+ <ul>
+ <li>Edit settings and run...
+ <ul>
+ <li>tbc: choose database</li>
+ <li>tbc: automatically align</li>
+ <li>tbc: return accessions</li>
+ <li>tbc: number of results</li>
+ <li>tbc: sequence eValue cutoff</li>
+ <li>tbc: domains eValue cutoff</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <br><li>hmmsearch with default settings</li>
+ <br><li>Add database
+ <br>Browse to select a local sequence data file to be searched</li>
