+ 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.
