HMMER

HMMER is used for searching sequence databases for sequence homologs, and for making sequence alignments. It implements methods using probabilistic models called profile hidden Markov models (profile HMMS). HMMER is designed to detect remote homologs as sensitively as possible, relying on the strength of its underlying probability models.

Rolling reboots on owens and pitzer starting 18 Aug 2021

We will have rolling reboots of Owens and Pitzer cluster, including login and compute nodes, starting from 9am on August 18, 2021. The rolling reboot is for urgent security updates. The rolling reboots won't affect any running jobs, but users may experience longer queue wait time than usual on the cluster. User will also expect about a 10 minute outage of login nodes during the reboot of login nodes. If there are interactive jobs started from a login node and that login node is rebooted, then the job will be killed.

Jupyter security issue Aug. 13, 2021

Please do not run any Jupyter applications at OSC until further notice due to a security vulnerability. OSC will update JupyterLab and Jupyter Notebook applications to rectify this as soon as possible. See the Jupyter known issue for details: https://www.osc.edu/resources/technical_support/known_issues/jupyter_security_issue_aug_13_2021
