[<Ale...@cs...>]

Hello

It was downloaded the same day as the files were uploaded (17th of November 2013).

You can download the latest one
ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/databases/Pfam/current_release/
Pfam-A.hmm.gz
Pfam-B.hmm.gz
concatanate them and create a new binary version
gunzip -c Pf*gz > Pfam-AB.hmm
hmmconvert -b Pfam-AB.hmm > Pfam-AB.hmm.bin

place Pfam-AB.hmm.bin in /pfam (deleting any existing files) and run
make prep_pfam

i'll update the instructions for the next release

Hi Kate,

Alexie (CC'd) will be able to tell you for sure how old the provided version of pfam-AB is. I suspect it was from earlier this year.   You might want to just pull down the very latest version of the database, though, from the pfam website.

best,

Hi,

I am just wondering how old the provided Pfam AB database is? Using
Transdecoder +/- PFAM search with the provided AB dataset, I get very few
additional hits being included. If you don't think that getting the VERY
newest version should affect results greatly, I won't worry about it. My
organism is very non-model... P. falciparum malaria, so maybe PFAM
searching just isn't so great for my organism?

Also, am I correct that the minimum length cutoff is in effect no matter
what? I.e something with a PFAM score above noise but shorter than length
cutoff won't make the final list.

Thanks! And happiest holidays :) Kate
