NAME

       cmsearch - search a sequence database for RNAs homologous to a CM,
              using an HMM as a pre-filtering step to increase speed.

SYNOPSIS

       cmsearch   window   length  score  threshold  cmfile  compact-type  HMM
       expanded-type HMM seqfile runsearch

DESCRIPTION

       cm2hmmsearch uses the covariance model (CM) in  cmfile  to  search  for
       homologous  RNAs  in  seqfile,  and outputs high-scoring alignments.  A
       compact-type HMM and/or expanded-type HMM is used  as  a  pre-filtering
       step,  which  usually  increases the overall speed of the search.  HMMs
       created with cm2hmm are rigorous, meaning that no new  false  negatives
       are introduced by using the filter.

       The sequence file is assumed to be in FASTA format.

       CM  files  are profiles of RNA consensus secondary structure. A CM file
       is produced by the cmbuild program, from a given RNA sequence alignment
       of known consensus structure.

       HMM  files  are profiles of RNA consensus primary sequence, produced by
       cm2hmm from a given CM file.

OPTIONS

       --help Print brief help; includes summary of parameters.

       window length

       score threshold

       runsearch
              Indicate whether cmsearch should actually be run.   1  will  run
              the  cmsearch  and  output hits.  0 will report on the filtering
              fraction that was achieved with the HMM filters.
