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.
