HMMER

About the project

The HMMER project is a collaborative project between the HMMER algorithm developers, led by Sean Eddy at HHMI/Harvard University, and the HMMER web service team, lead by Rob Finn at EMBL-EBI. Between us, we aim to provide Life science researchers fast and sensitive homology searches, which are accessible to the broadest possible community.
