Biopython

<p>Biopython is an <a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open-source</a> collection of non-commercial <a href="/facts/Python_/YbuGqofa">Python</a> tools for <a href="/facts/Computational_biology/GxgNfwcX">computational biology</a> and <a href="/facts/Bioinformatics/D5x2L8ee">bioinformatics</a>. It contains classes to represent <a href="/facts/Biological_sequence/VaN6MEYh">biological sequences</a> and <a href="/facts/Bioinformatics/D5x2L8ee">sequence annotations</a>, and it is able to read and write to a variety of file formats. It also allows for a programmatic means of accessing online <a href="/facts/Biological_database/cQyWM7bs">databases of biological information</a>, such as those at <a href="/facts/National_Center_for_Biotechnology_Information/6Xj5wCbu">NCBI</a>. Separate modules extend Biopython's capabilities to <a href="/facts/Sequence_alignment/p8GQfF7b">sequence alignment</a>, <a href="/facts/Protein_structure/BptnTs9X">protein structure</a>, <a href="/facts/Population_genetics/v55qAnKu">population genetics</a>, <a href="/facts/Phylogenetics/bw4rsovt">phylogenetics</a>, <a href="/facts/Sequence_motif/RtcoysBD">sequence motifs</a>, and <a href="/facts/Machine_learning/e0w0XJTu">machine learning</a>. Biopython is one of a number of Bio* projects designed to reduce <a href="/facts/Duplicate_code/adzaD7R2">code duplication</a> in <a href="/facts/Computational_biology/GxgNfwcX">computational biology</a>.
