Rfam is a collection of multiple sequence alignments and covariance models covering many common non-coding RNA families. The main use of Rfam is as a source of RNA multiple alignments with consensus secondary structure annotation in a consistent format. In conjunction with the Infernal software package, Rfam covariance models (CMs) can be used to search genomes or other DNA sequence databases for homologs to known structural RNA families.
