Pfam 22.0 (June 2007, 9318 families)

Pfam is a large collection of multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models covering many common protein families. Pfam version 22.0 (June 2007) contains alignments and models for 9318 protein families, based on the Swissprot 51.7 and SP-TrEMBL 34.7 protein sequence databases.

Pfam is produced by the Pfam Consortium, a collaboration between researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute near Cambridge UK, the Stockholm Bioinformatics Center at Stockholm University in Sweden, and HHMI Janelia Farm near Washington, DC in the US.
