name: biopython description: "Primary Python toolkit for molecular biology. Preferred for Python-based PubMed/NCBI queries (Bio.Entrez), sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA, GenBank, FASTQ, PDB), advanced BLAST workflows, structures, phylogenetics. For quick BLAST, use gget. For direct REST API, use pubmed-database."

Biopython: Computational Molecular Biology in Python

Overview

Biopython is a comprehensive set of freely available Python tools for biological computation. It provides functionality for sequence manipulation, file I/O, database access, structural bioinformatics, phylogenetics, and many other bioinformatics tasks. The current version is Biopython 1.85 (released January 2025), which supports Python 3 and requires NumPy.
