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 3.3 contains 1390 families. 57% of proteins in SWISSPROT 35 and TrEMBL 5 have at least one match to a Pfam family. The changes between Pfam release 3.3 and Pfam release 3.2 are: 46 new families have been added.
