EMBOSS provides excellent database support. All the common sequence formats you are likely to come across are supported. See the EMBOSS User’s Guide.
A variety of indexing and access methods are supported. For example, EMBL entries can be read from :
A non-indexed EMBL-format flatfile held locally
Original EMBL flatfiles using the CD-ROM, Staden or EMBOSS indexes
Original EMBL flatfiles using local SRS indexes
A file indexed for use with BLAST version 2 indexes
GCG database format
A query to the EMBL-EBI DBFETCH service
A query to the EMBL-EBI web server
A query to the Entrez web server
A query to any MRS web server
A query to any SRS web server (local or remote)
A relational database such as Sybase or Oracle by calling a local application.
