Alignment scores are reported by HMMer and BLAST as bits scores. The likelihood that the query sequence is a bona fide homologue of the database sequence is compared to the likelihood that the sequence was instead generated by a random model. Taking the logarithm (to base 2) of this likelihood ratio gives the bits score. (SMART) (http://bioinfbook.org/appendix.php)
