+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.
