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.
