EMBOSS data files are distributed with the application and stored in the standard EMBOSS data directory, which is defined by the EMBOSS environment variable EMBOSS_DATA.
To see the available EMBOSS data files, run:
% embossdata -showall
To fetch one of the data files (for example 'Exxx.dat') into your current directory for you to inspect or modify, run:
% embossdata -fetch -file Exxx.dat
Users can provide their own data files in their own directories. Project specific files can be put in the current directory, or for tidier directory listings in a subdirectory called ".embossdata". Files for all EMBOSS runs can be put in the user's home directory, or again in a subdirectory called ".embossdata".
The directories are searched in the following order:
| Program name | Description |
|---|---|
| infoalign | Display basic information about a multiple sequence alignment |
| inforesidue | Return information on a given amino acid residue |
| infoseq | Display basic information about sequences |
| seealso | Finds programs with similar function to a specified program |
| showdb | Displays information on configured databases |
| textsearch | Search the textual description of sequence(s) |
| tfm | Displays full documentation for an application |
| whichdb | Search all sequence databases for an entry and retrieve it |
| wossname | Finds programs by keywords in their short description |
