Pfam is a collection of multiple alignments and profile hidden Markov models of protein domain families. Release 3.1 is a major update of the Pfam database and contains 1313 families which are available on the World Wide Web in Europe at http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Pfam/ and http://www.cgr.ki.se/Pfam/, and in the US at http://pfam.wustl.edu/. Over 54% of proteins in SWISS-PROT-35 and SP-TrEMBL-5 match a Pfam family. The primary changes of Pfam since release 2.1 are that we now use the more advanced version 2 of the HMMER software, which is more sensitive and provides expectation values for matches, and that it now includes proteins from both SP-TrEMBL and SWISS-PROT.
Pfam是蛋白质结构域家族的多序列比对和隐马尔可夫模型概况的集合。3.1版是Pfam数据库的一次重大更新,包含1313个家族,可在欧洲通过万维网访问,网址为http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Pfam/和http://www.cgr.ki.se/Pfam/,在美国可通过http://pfam.wustl.edu/访问。SWISS-PROT-35和SP-TrEMBL-5中超过54%的蛋白质与Pfam家族匹配。自2.1版发布以来,Pfam的主要变化在于,我们现在使用了更先进的HMMER软件版本2,该版本更敏感,并能为匹配提供期望值,而且现在它包含了来自SP-TrEMBL和SWISS-PROT的蛋白质。
