Infernal (“INFERence of RNA ALignment”) searches DNA sequence databases for RNA structure and sequence similarities.

A CM is like a sequence profile, but it scores a combination of sequence consensus and RNA secondary structure consensus, so in many cases, it is more capable of identifying RNA homologs that conserve their secondary structure more than their primary sequence.
