The Pfam database<\/a> is a large collection of protein families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models (HMMs).<\/p>\n There are two components to Pfam: Pfam-A and Pfam-B. Pfam-A entries ara high quality, manually curated families. Pfam-B families are of lower quality, but can be useful for identifying functionally conserved regions when no Pfam-A entries are found.<\/p>\n Pfam also generates higher-level groupings of related families, known as clans. A clan is a collection of Pfam-A entries which are related by similarity of sequence, structure of profile-HMM.<\/p>\n Bateman A, Coin L, Durbin R, et al. The Pfam protein families database[J].
