Bio::Emboss perl module version 2.0.0
=====================================

This module is an interface to the libraries of the EMBOSS package
(European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite).

With this module you can access EMBOSS databases and use EMBOSS
functions to manipulate your data. You can write perl programs that
look like any other EMBOSS program (command-line, web interface).
