Description

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. The EMBASSY packages live in the biology/embassy port.

Message after installing

The EMBOSS suite has been successfully installed under
 /usr/local/emboss

 To run EMBOSS programs make sure that /usr/local/emboss/bin is in your PATH.

 In order to see graphical output from some EMBOSS programs, you will
 need to set the following environment variable in your shell:

 set PLPLOT_LIB to: "/usr/local/emboss/share/EMBOSS"

 A sample configuration file has been installed in
 /usr/local/emboss/share/EMBOSS/emboss.default.template

 This must be renamed to emboss.default and edited to suit your site
 and requirements.

 A .embossrc file in a user's home directory overrides settings in the
 system-wide emboss.default.

 Additional third party applications for EMBOSS can be installed from the
 biology/embassy port. Remember, though that if you installed EMBOSS in a
 PREFIX other than the default, you will have to install EMBASSY into this
 same PREFIX.
