FamDB Format 3.0 Partitions: The FamDB HDF5 database format now supports database segmentation by components and partitions for simpler downloads for the most common use cases. Components are high-level groupings of Dfam by curation status (DF vs DR records) and by model type (consensus vs HMMs). Partitions are further subdivisions of the components by taxanomic groups to keep the file sizes manageable and provide a mechanism to further reduce the storage requirements for users who only need a subset of Dfam. The FamDB components are: - Curated-consensus (CC): The consensus sequences (and metadata) for the curated [DF families] in Dfam. - Uncurated-consensus (UC): The consensus sequences (and metadata) for the uncurated [DR families] in Dfam. - Curated-HMM (CH): The profile HMMs (and metadata) for the curated formed [DF families] in Dfam. - Uncurated-HMM (UH): The profile HMMs (and metadata) for the uncurated formed [DR families] in Dfam. All components and parititions are optional and may be loaded in any combination. The only file required to use FamDB is the root partition which contains the component and partition metadata for a given release. The files in this directory are organized as follows: dfam##.0.h5 : The root partition for the Dfam release [required] dfam##.curated.consensus.#.h5 : The curated consensus component partitions [optional] dfam##.uncurated.consensus.#.h5 : The uncurated consensus component partitions [optional] dfam##.curated.hmm.#.h5 : The curated HMM component partitions [optional] dfam##.uncurated.hmm.#.h5 : The uncurated HMM component partitions [optional] This new format is compatible with FamDB tool v3.0.0, and RepeatMasker 4.2.4.
