The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (EMBOSS) is a
|
|
|
|
|
comprehensive set (about 100) of open source tools for genetic sequence
|
|
|
|
|
analysis. EMBOSS is produced by the European Molecular Biology Network
|
|
|
|
|
(EMBnet - http://www.embnet.org/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All EMBOSS tools are all built around the same set of core libraries - AJAX

|
and NUCLEUS - and therefore share a unified user interface, have similar
|
|
|
|
|
"look and feel", and implement a uniform sequence addressing methodology.

The various components of EMBOSS are distributed under the GPL, except the
|
|
|
|
|
core libraries which are under the LGPL.

EMBASSY packages are third party applications which have been integrated with
|
|
|
|
|
the EMBOSS suite, but which are not included in the base EMBOSS distribution

for licensing or other reasons. This port includes the currently available
|
|
|
|
|
EMBASSY applications - EMNU, MSE, PHYLIP and TOPO. During an interactive
|
2000-11-13 14:48:49 +01:00
|
|
|
install the user will be asked to choose which of these will be installed
|
|
|
|
|
(default: all). Note that the EMBASSY version of PHYLIP should not clash
|
|
|
|
|
with the standalone Phylip application due to the fact that its binaries have
|
|
|
|
|
been renamed.
