[EMBOSS] EMBOSS 6.1.0 release now available

[Ryan Golhar]

I think the sequence alignment programs or anything dealing with 
matrices would be a good first start.  Even (as Hamish) mentioned, 
making use of multi-core systems would be good.

We are interested in doing some CUDA programming here.  We are doing 
some training in about a month.  Based on that, we'll see how well we 
know it and what we want to pursue.  Maybe we can help you out a bit in 
this?
