+Within EMBOSS you will find around hundreds of programs (applications)
+covering areas such as:
+
+- Sequence alignment
+- Rapid database searching with sequence patterns
+- Protein motif identification, including domain analysis
+- Nucleotide sequence pattern analysis -- for example to identify CpG
+  islands or repeats
+- Codon usage analysis for small genomes
+- Rapid identification of sequence patterns in large scale sequence
+  sets
+- Presentation tools for publication
 
-If you want to use eprimer3 and multiple sequence alignment programs 
-like emma, you should install primer3 and clustalw.
+Optional, run-time dependencies are clustalw and primer3 -- needed if
+you want to use the wrappers emma and eprimer32.
