The Biopython Project is an international association of developers of
|
|
freely available Python tools for computational molecular biology.
|
|
|
|
The Biopython web site provides an online resource for modules,
|
|
scripts, and web links for developers of Python-based software for
|
|
bioinformatics use and research. Basically, the goal of Biopython is
|
|
to make it as easy as possible to use Python for bioinformatics by
|
|
creating high-quality, reusable modules and classes. Biopython
|
|
features include parsers for various Bioinformatics file formats
|
|
(BLAST, Clustalw, FASTA, Genbank,...), access to online services
|
|
(NCBI, Expasy,...), interfaces to common and not-so-common programs
|
|
(Clustalw, DSSP, MSMS,...), a standard sequence class, various
|
|
clustering modules, a KD tree data structure etc. and even
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
If you use Biopython in work contributing to a scientific publication,
|
|
please cite the application note (below) or one of the module specific
|
|
publications (listed on Biopython's website):
