MATLAB: Error using the function gethmmprof

Bioinformatics Toolboxgethmmprof

I am trying to use the "gethmmprof" function. Using the example given in the documentation, hmm_7tm = gethmmprof(2), I only get a series of error messages. Is the function up to date with the current database format? Thanks!

The Bioinformatics Toolbox version you are running (R2013a) supports only HMMER2.0 and HMMER3/b. The format of the current database is HMMER3/f. The difference in the content is not significant, but the format is not recognized and therefore the function throws an error. If you contact Mathworks customer support they will send you a patch.
