Emboss can access various biological databases automatically. However, this need to be configured. First of all type:

$ showdb

If you get line nothing in the list of databases, this document is for you. First we locate the emboss.default.template file.

$ locate emboss.default.template

Then cd to that directory and create copy.

$ cp emboss.default.template emboss.default

Open emboss.default and uncomment the databases you desire by deleting # symbol at the beginning of the concerned lines.

$ showdb

You should see your databases now.
