biopython
Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.
- Version
- 1.3
- License
- Biopython License Agreement
- Compatibility
- Requires Python 3.10+, NumPy, and Biopython. Entrez and web BLAST examples require network access; local BLAST/MUSCLE examples require those command-line tools installed separately.
