Rfam Get Covariance Model

Get Infernal covariance model (CM) for RNA family. Returns CM file in Infernal format, which captures both sequence and structure conservation. Can be used with Infernal tools (cmsearch, cmalign, cmbuild) for RNA sequence analysis. Use for: homology searches, structural alignment, custom RNA annotation, sequence classification. CMs are more sensitive than profile HMMs for structured RNAs.
