EMBOSS: The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite

The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (EMBOSS) is a mature package of software tools developed for the molecular biology community. It includes a comprehensive set of applications for molecular sequence analysis and other tasks and integrates popular third-party software packages under a consistent interface. EMBOSS includes extensive C programming libraries and is a platform to develop and release software in the true open source spirit.

Artemis: sequence visualization and annotation

SUMMARY Artemis is a DNA sequence visualization and annotation tool that allows the results of any analysis or sets of analyses to be viewed in the context of the sequence and its six-frame translation. Artemis is especially useful in analysing the compact genomes of bacteria, archaea and lower eukaryotes, and will cope with sequences of any size from small genes to whole genomes. It is implemented in Java, and can be run on any suitable platform. Sequences and annotation can be read and written directly in EMBL, GenBank and GFF format. AVAILABITLTY: Artemis is available under the GNU General Public License from http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Artemis
