在UNIX平台上分析DNA和蛋白质序列的免费软件往往很难使用，并且并不总是与其他程序无缝交互。来自商业供应商的综合应用程序包更容易使用，但对于许多实验室来说可能过于昂贵，并且由于源代码不可用而无法定制本地使用。欧洲分子生物学开源软件套件（European Molecular Biology Open Source Software Suite）的创建者旨在通过在UNIX平台上的开源模式下发布的综合序列分析应用程序包来弥合这一差距。这篇评论探讨了作为一个序列分析软件包，也作为一个平台，开发新的分析programmes.EPCSS欧洲分子生物学开放软件套件1）是一个开源软件项目，有两个目标：提供一个免费的软件包，分析DNA和蛋白质序列的分子生物学社区和提供一套软件库，供科学家使用，以开发自己的应用程序。它是由欧洲分子生物学网络EMBnet的研究人员积极开发的，主要来自桑格中心和英国人类基因组绘图计划资源中心。EGSS起源于商业遗传学计算机组（GCG）威斯康星州软件包的扩展的EGCG软件包。2GCG最初向公众发布其源代码，允许外部程序员开发使用GCG库的应用程序
Free software for analysing DNA and protein sequences on the UNIX platform tends to be difficult to use and does not always interact seamlessly with other programs. Comprehensive packages of integrated applications from commercial vendors are easier to use, but may be too expensive for many laboratories and cannot be customised for local use because the source code is not available. The creators of the European Molecular Biology Open Source Software Suite EMBOSS) aim to bridge this gap with a comprehensive package of integrated sequence analysis applications released under the open source model on UNIX platforms. This review examines EMBOSS as a sequence analysis package and also as a platform for developing new analysis programs.EMBOSS European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite1) is an open source software project with two goals: to provide the molecular biology community with a freely available software package for analysing DNA and protein sequences and to provide a set of software libraries for scientists to use to develop their own applications. It is actively developed by researchers associated with the European Molecular Biology network EMBnet), predominately from the Sanger Centre and the UK Human Genome Mapping Project HGMP) Resource Centre. EMBOSS has its origins in the EGCG package of extensions to the commercial Genetics Computer Group GCG) Wisconsin Package. 2 GCG originally released its source code to the public, allowing outside programmers to develop applications that used the GCG libraries
