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.
