From HHpred original Bioinformatics paper

  • Profile HMMs are similar to simple sequence profiles, but in addition to the amino acid frequencies in the columns of a multiple sequence alignment they contain the position-specific probabilities for inserts and deletions along the alignment
  • The logarithms of these probabilities are in fact equivalent to position-specific gap penalties (Durbin et al., 1998).
