eBAS PACKAGE DESCRIPTION eMOTIF Batch Analysis Suite-3.6, or eBAS-3.6, is a courtesy software bundle for licensees of eMOTIF-3.6. The essence of this software bundle is a Makefile script that has streamelined and automated the numerous steps involved in running the `emotif-search' program on multiple ORF sequences, genomes, and proteomes. Given a protein sequence, the `emotif-search' program suggests families of proteins to which the query sequence may belong. The `emotif-search' program considers a protein sequence a potential member of a protein family, if the sequence contains discrete motif or motifs that have been generated from an ungapped multiple sequence alignment of known member sequences from that family.
