DUMMEST (DUMMER without Explicit Sequence Translation) finds similar regions between query DNA sequences containing frameshift errors/mutations and protein profile HMMs.

This is useful for annotating metagenomic, genomic, transcriptomic sequences generated by long-read sequencers, which are known to have a high rate of frameshift-inducing errors.
