+# - we replace the MMseqs2 binary with the version in the module system
+# - replace variables with static files and locations
+# - replace DB2; initially BFD/Mgnify, now PDB70
+# - remove DB3; initially ColabfoldDB
+# - keep query database (search against UniRef30), since we are interested in the sequence alignments
