- EMBOSS is "The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite".
- EMBOSS is a free Open Source software analysis package specially
- developed for the needs of the molecular biology (e.g. EMBnet) user
- community. The software automatically copes with data in a variety of
- formats and even allows transparent retrieval of sequence data from
- the web. Also, as extensive libraries are provided with the package,
- it is a platform to allow other scientists to develop and release
- software in true open source spirit. EMBOSS also integrates a range of
- currently available packages and tools for sequence analysis into a
- seamless whole. EMBOSS breaks the historical trend towards commercial
- software packages.
- Within EMBOSS you will find around hundreds of programs (applications)
- covering areas such as:
- - Sequence alignment
- - Rapid database searching with sequence patterns
- - Protein motif identification, including domain analysis
- - Nucleotide sequence pattern analysis -- for example to identify CpG
- islands or repeats
- - Codon usage analysis for small genomes
- - Rapid identification of sequence patterns in large scale sequence
- sets
- - Presentation tools for publication
- Optional, run-time dependencies are clustalw and primer3 -- needed if
- you want to use the wrappers emma and eprimer32.
