How to download a Pfam database for hmmer searches?

Question

[A_heath]

Hi all,

I recently downloaded HMMER in order to use hmmer search to identify protein sequences.

I know its possible to do your own database in hmmer but I would like to use the Pfam database which is way more complete.

First, can the Pfam database be downloaded? And if so, where? I can't seem to find it online... Then, how large is it?

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Have a great day
