                 ANNOUNCING PFAM RELEASE 11.0
                 ===========================


Pfam is a collection of protein domain family alignments which were
constructed semi-automatically using profile hidden Markov models.
Pfam families contain functional annotation and cross-references to
other databases.  Query sequences can be searched against the Pfam
library of profile hidden Markov models at the web sites below.

Pfam 11.0 contains 7255 families.  75% of proteins in SWISSPROT 41.25
and TrEMBL 24.14 have at least one match to a Pfam family.

For interactive access and searching see URLs

                http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Pfam
                http://pfam.wustl.edu
                http://www.cgr.ki.se/Pfam

The release is also available in flat file by anonymous ftp:

                ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/databases/Pfam/
                ftp://ftp.genetics.wustl.edu/pub/Pfam/
                ftp://ftp.cgr.ki.se/pub/data/Pfam/

The Pfam HMM library is compatible with HMMER2 software, available
from
                http://hmmer.wustl.edu/

and also the Wise2 software, available from

                http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Wise2/
