The output file can be used as a codon usage table in other applications.
This example uses only one input sequence. The normal use would be to use a set of coding sequences as the input.

The example usage read in a single CDS from Pseudomonas aeruginosa which has a very high GC content ands a strong coding bias, as shown by the codons for Alanine where those ending with G or C are used almost exclusively.
The 'Fract' column gives that proportion of usage of a given codon among its redundant set (i.e. the set of codons which code for this codon's amino acid). For example, the sum of the 6 codons representing serine will add up to 1.00.
The /1000 column represents the number of codons, given the input sequence(s), there are per 1000 bases. This will be an extrapolation if the sequence is shorter than 1000 bases.
If multiple sequences are input then the statistics are given for all of the sequences together, not individually.
EMBOSS data files are distributed with the application and stored in the standard EMBOSS data directory, which is defined by the EMBOSS environment variable EMBOSS_DATA.
To see the available EMBOSS data files, run:
% embossdata -showall
To fetch one of the data files (for example 'Exxx.dat') into your current directory for you to inspect or modify, run:
% embossdata -fetch -file Exxx.dat
Users can provide their own data files in their own directories. Project specific files can be put in the current directory, or for tidier directory listings in a subdirectory called ".embossdata". Files for all EMBOSS runs can be put in the user's home directory, or again in a subdirectory called ".embossdata".
The directories are searched in the following order:
| Program name | Description | 
|---|---|
| cai | CAI codon adaptation index | 
| chips | Codon usage statistics | 
| codcmp | Codon usage table comparison | 
| syco | Synonymous codon usage Gribskov statistic plot |
