Description
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.
Execution Environment and Modules
To use emboss with the environment modules system at HPC the following commands are available:
Get module information for emboss:
$module spider emboss
Load the default application module:
$module load emboss
The modulefile for this software adds the directory with executable files to the shell execution PATH and sets the following environment variables:
- HPC_EMBOSS_DIR - directory where emboss is located.
How To Run
EMBOSS is available both at the command line for use in the batch jobs and through the Galaxy Framework for Biocomputing.
