Introduction Software development and maintenance under EMBOSS is made easy. EMBOSS has powerful inbuilt functionality which any native application can make use of with little or no additional coding, saving you a great deal of effort. It includes extensive C programming libraries for extending the core functionality and developing new applications. Well-defined processes are in place for key aspects such as quality assurance testing, installation, maintenance and support. General aspects are handled by the EMBOSS developers, leaving you to support the parts specific to your own software. Inbuilt functionality Major inbuilt areas of functionality include: Support for biological datatypes Support for common file formats Simple database configuration Command line handling Command line qualifiers Sequence and sequence feature specification.
