Here is an ebuild for rebase-403, a restriction enzymes database maintained by New-England Biolabs. Project page is at : http://rebase.neb.com. Rebase is updated monthly. It can be used with EMBOSS, GCG and other biological sequence analysis software. An installation of EMBOSS can hardly be considered complete without this database, since important programs like restrict or remap will not function properly without an enzyme database. This ebuild installs rebase files in /usr/share/rebase and optionally indexes the database for use with EMBOSS if USE contains the "emboss" keyword. If there is any interest for this ebuild, I could make ebuilds for other databases as well (embl, genbank, genpept, swissprot, etc.). The USE flag "emboss" could provide users with automated database indexing and example database configuration files.

Version 403 is no longer available. I'll provide an updated ebuild later.
I will be commiting a new, improved ebuild shortly.
