Length Distribution of Pfam HMMs and Sub-HMMs. (a) The length distribution of Pfam HMMs is depicted in the form of a histogram. The Pfam HMMs consist on average of 210 positions, while it is only 90 positions for the combined set of sub-HMMs per Pfam HMM. (b) The length per domain model is computed by summing the lengths of the sub-HMM extracted from that model. (c) The length distribution of individual sub-HMMs is shown. In all cases the sub-HMMs were created with a minimum length setting of 8 and a smoothing factor of 8.
