Produce Multiple Sequence Alignments using Profile HMMs

I have a few multiple sequence alignments and a few groups (let's say N) of unaligned sequences. I would like to learn the emission and transition probabilities from the multiple sequence alignments, to build with these distributions a profile HMM and then to produce with the Viterbi algorithm N multiple sequence alignments from the groups of unaligned sequences.

I have a known profile HMM structure, I have a Viterbi implementation but I am having trouble figuring out how to estimate emission distributions and transition distributions from the available multiple sequence alignments. Any ideas?

hmm msa baum-welch viterbi learn
