Website update

We’ve just updated the Pfam website again. This update comes fairly soon after the major, Pfam 24.0 release and it’s intended to fix some of the more annoying bugs and omissions that we’ve found in the last week or so.

Pfam release 24.0

We have just released the latest update to Pfam. Release 24.0 contains a total of 11,912 families, with 1,808 new families and 236 families killed since the last release. 75.15% of all proteins in Pfamseq contain a match to at least one Pfam domain. 53.18% of all residues in the sequence database fall within Pfam domains.

Imminent Release of Pfam 24.0

We are now on the brink of releasing Pfam 24.0.  This release of Pfam, version 24.0, will be a landmark release as it will be the first to be built using the the new version of the HMMER package, HMMER3. We are well aware that we have been claiming this release as imminent for some time, but we are now at the point of flicking the big switch.  There are numerous changes that users need to know about and we will briefly summarise them here.
