Metatrancriptomics : Pfam Database for viralVerify after rnaviralspades running

Question

[bioAddict]

Hi there

I'm performing an metatranscriptomics study. I'm using rnaviralspades and in the workflow I need to use viralverify after assembling the reads with rnaviralspades. To use viralverify, this is the script provided :

   ./viralverify.py -f Input fasta file -o output_directory --hmm HMM  Path to HMM database

My question is :

For the database required for --hmm argument, should I download the whole files and directories in Pfm34.0 directory of this link : http://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/Pfam/releases/Pfam34.0?

Most likely you need to download and unpack only this file:

http://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/Pfam/releases/Pfam34.0/Pfam-A.hmm.gz
