Warning

Rfam accession numbers are more stable between releases than IDs. We strongly recommend that you link by Rfam accession (e.g. RF00360).

• Using “entry”:

  You can also refer to a family by entry, although this is a convenience that should be used only if you’re not sure if what you have is an accession or an ID.
