# HMMER Applications

EMBASSY HMMERNEW is a suite of application wrappers to the original hmmer v2.3.2 applications written by Sean Eddy. hmmer v2.3.2 must be installed on the same system as EMBOSS and the location of the hmmer executables must be defined in your path for EMBASSY HMMER to work.

The HMMER versions of these programs all have the prefix "e" to distinguish them from the original programs.
